Speed limit is 40 going South over the bridge, but because it's long and open speed is easily picked up and Bakersfield Police Motorcycle Cops sit there at the end of the bridge off the right side, behind the rails, with handheld radar guns. You can not see them until you are on top of them and it makes great for them! They run in pairs and usually stop 2 at a time.

Police Officers park on the side streets. The speed limit is 40 mph, but people tend to want to drive faster because there are few stop lights.

There are usualy 2 motorcycle BPD's in one of the parking lots on the south side of the street. They are usualy beside one of the buildings that sits back from the street. The posted speed limit is 35 which is far below a reasonable safe speed.
