Copper Canyon, Texas Speed Traps

Speed limit changes from 35 to 30 abruptly on Chin Chapel. Denton County Sheriff patrols area. Very strict as soon as you cross that border into Copper Canyon.

This is typically 30mph to 35mph. Construction has areas of 20mph and this is for the entire day, not just when construction is in progress. I was traveling 30mph (normal posted speed) and stopped and cited for 37mph. The deputy would not allow me to see his radar. I had a passenger with me that saw my speedometer and stated so. I don’t believe he was being honest at all. STAY OUT OF COPPER CANYON.

This is a typical speed trap. The roads are long straight aways with lots of hills. The posted limits are between 30 mph and 35 mph. In one spot the limit decreases from 35mph to 30mph for a mile and then increases again to 35. There are no warnings if you are pulled over. And a ticket is often issued for as little as 4 mph over by the Denton County Constable that patrols the area. Don’t speed in Copper Canyon, it’s just not worth it.

Double Oak provides police enforcement for the Town of Copper Canyon on this road from Copper Canyon Road to Bishop Road. The speed limit is posted at 30 MPH with selective enforcement. The police police hide in the side ditches often without any lights. If you are not speeding, they will find some reason to stop you( license plate light out, failure to stop behind stop sign, inspection sticker check, etc.) Enforcement is extreme with dozens stopped and cited daily.
