Waco, Texas Speed Traps
Bellmead Drive
From Loop 340 to I-35 along Bellmead Drive, the speed limit is 30 mph. Everwhere else is 40 to 45 mph, so 30 seems pretty slow. Bellmead cops are hiding out everywhere along this road so make sure you go 30 mph.
Headed west on Herring Ave. over the Brazos River bridge
The road necks down from a four lane divided with an esplenade(40 MPH) to a four lane bridge crossing the river at Cameron Park. Heading west (towards town) the speed limit drops to 25MPH for a short distance then resumes 30 MPH near Fourth St.. At the end of the bridge is a grassy area where the PD can sit off to the side. Continuing west on Herring is a heavy monitored area(30 MPH) with moving radar.
Herring/6th Street intersection
This area is heavily targeted by unmarked police cruisers so slow down or pay the fine.
East Waco Drive/Garrison Street
The area is a school zone but is heavly monitored by unmarked cars. The school was closed but reopened for the students from another nearby school but will soon be closed again so slow down.
Ritchie Road – just down from Chapel Rd.
Officer sits off side of road as you are coming from Hwy 84/Old McGregor Road. Weeds get high and make it a perfect place to connect revenue on this pothole country road. The speed limit is 30.
