Notorious speedtrap on either side of Quincy around the school zone. Instant drop from 40 MPH to 20-25 MPH on big downhill slopes to Quincy. Police station sits across the street from one school and just off University Blvd. 40 MPH on University WITHOUT the school zone is too slow as it is. Police can practically get up from their desks, go outside and give you a ticket their station is so close to the road. | |
Comment (4/2006): This is a pathetic area. That drop to 20 mph although legal, is too slow. It should be 30 during school. So complain to the city about that. I have seen many times where CHV cops break traffic laws. Report the hell out of that too. if they are going to punish others and get paid to do it, they sure as heck shouldn't be breaking one law themselves. REPORT ! | |
Comment (9/2006): Funny how this site only lets angry motorists who have been ticketed get their posted messages placed. It is not surprising you only want the angry speeding motorists comments posted instead of the Police Officers comments who ticketed them. You have a really low and dirty job trying to state that any and all speeding tickets are basicaly wrong and undeserved. Try promoting safe and careful driving habits instead of telling these people they are right instead of wrong in their driving actions. Try supporting your local Law Enforcement and ESU personnel instead of tearing them down. It is interesting how quick you people are to criticize us and our actions until you are screaming for help! Food for thought! A reply would be appreciated. | |
Comment (11/2006): Well, I didn't post these comments, but here are a couple of comments for you, Mr. Officer. Sir. First, I disagree that any school zone should be more than 20 mph. Second, I don't think anyone really holds the officers at fault for the situation, but many speed limits are artificially low in order to generate revenue for state, county, and local governments. When cities change their speeding fines and their commercials talk only about how much revenue it will generate for the city, the system is obviously broken. Finally, you should love this site. By telling people where your speed traps will be, it is making it more likely that people will slow down in those areas, allowing you to go somewhere else and enforce the limits/generate revenue there instead. I agree we need to support our local law enforcement, but our local law enforcement needs to confront elected government and put an end to the use of speeding tickets to generate revenue. Protect and serve, right? | |
Comment (12/2006): Also, I have never and would never "scream for help" from a cop. I take care of myself. Just because cops respond to screams for help does not make them above criticism and id does not allow them to break the law. It does not lessen accountability one bit. Don't assume that because you are a cop that you deserve special treatment. | |
Comment (12/2006): Wrong all the way. There are more than speeding tickets to generate revenue. For your information, any roadway listed as a state highway is controled by the Colorado Department of Transportation and not the local agency. All major roads in this city are state highways, so complain to CDOT about the speed and obey the law. They set the speed limit and that is all there is to it. Do not break the law and you will not get a ticket. Thank you for the reply though. It is much appreciated. | |
Comment (12/2006): My anger is not with the traffic laws but with the cops. They regularly break speed limits, don't use signal indicators, and do not pull into the nearest-most lane when making turns into multi-lane streets. All is illegal, being done by COPS, and they are not getting punished for it but have no problem punishing and berating civilians if the civilian's break the law. I don't break the law, but if I do and get a ticket that is fine. I just want cops to get the same treatment when they break the law. You assume angry motorists are angry about not being able to break the law. That is not the reason. Don't assume. | |

Going West on Belleview after University, as soon as the hill crests, there sits a motorcycle cop under the trees on the right hand side. You can very safely travel 45, but the limit is 35 and they snag em one by one. | |

Don't assume that because you are a cop that you deserve special treatment. | |
Comment (12/2006): Wrong all the way. There are more than speeding tickets to generate revenue. For your information, any roadway listed as a state highway is controled by the Colorado Department of Transportation and not the local agency. All major roads in this city are state highways, so complain to CDOT about the speed and obey the law. They set the speed limit and that is all there is to it. Do not break the law and you will not get a ticket. Thank you for the reply though. It is much appreciated. | |
Comment (12/2006): My anger is not with the traffic laws but with the cops. They regularly break speed limits, don't use signal indicators, and do not pull into the nearest-most lane when making turns into multi-lane streets. All is illegal, being done by COPS, and they are not getting punished for it but have no problem punishing and berating civilians if the civilian's break the law. I don't break the law, but if I do and get a ticket that is fine. I just want cops to get the same treatment when they break the law. You assume angry motorists are angry about not being able to break the law. That is not the reason. Don't assume. | |
Comment (4/2006): This is a pathetic area. That drop to 20 mph although legal, is too slow. It should be 30 during school. So complain to the city about that. I have seen many times where CHV cops break traffic laws. Report the hell out of that too. if they are going to punish others and get paid to do it, they sure as heck shouldn't be breaking one law themselves. REPORT ! | |
Comment (9/2006): Funny how this site only lets angry motorists who have been ticketed get their posted messages placed. It is not surprising you only want the angry speeding motorists comments posted instead of the Police Officers comments who ticketed them. You have a really low and dirty job trying to state that any and all speeding tickets are basicaly wrong and undeserved. Try promoting safe and careful driving habits instead of telling these people they are right instead of wrong in their driving actions. Try supporting your local Law Enforcement and ESU personnel instead of tearing them down. It is interesting how quick you people are to criticize us and our actions until you are screaming for help! Food for thought! A reply would be appreciated. | |
Comment (11/2006): Well, I didn't post these comments, but here are a couple of comments for you, Mr. Officer. Sir. First, I disagree that any school zone should be more than 20 mph. Second, I don't think anyone really holds the officers at fault for the situation, but many speed limits are artificially low in order to generate revenue for state, county, and local governments. When cities change their speeding fines and their commercials talk only about how much revenue it will generate for the city, the system is obviously broken. Finally, you should love this site. By telling people where your speed traps will be, it is making it more likely that people will slow down in those areas, allowing you to go somewhere else and enforce the limits/generate revenue there instead. I agree we need to support our local law enforcement, but our local law enforcement needs to confront elected government and put an end to the use of speeding tickets to generate revenue. Protect and serve, right? | |
Comment (12/2006): Also, I have never and would never "scream for help" from a cop. I take care of myself. Just because cops respond to screams for help does not make them above criticism and id does not allow them to break the law. It does not lessen accountability one bit. Don't assume that because you are a cop that you deserve special treatment. | |
