Trap occurs where northbound Carr levels out after 1 mile uphill. If you do not take foot off of gas in time, you are caught. Also, southbound Carr has similar problem at top of Hackberry Hill. | |

Speed trap occurs when Kipling levels out after climbing up from Little Dry Creek. Officers are well hidden and cannot be seen until you are withing 150 feet. By then it is too late. Southbound Kipling is fine. | |

Officers park on north side of street on either Garrison or Garland and are well hidden. Sometimes they park by red wall on south side of 74th Ave. I live nearby and see at least 10 tickets per week. Speed is 30 MPH and they ticket at 35. | |

South bound just as you go down the hill and under the RR bridge on the right side is often a cop. The speed limit is 40 so slow down as you approach the RR bridge as he'll get you just as you pass under it. | |

This trap is at the bottom of a very steep hill. One tends to increase speed going down this hill even if one is attempting to follow the speed limit. The limit is now set at 35 mph. instead of the 45 mph. which would be more reasonable and, I believe, used to be the limit there. This is energetically enforced and they will pull you over without using radar or laser. It appears to be a revenue generating operation to pay for all of the Orwellian high-tech. gear that Arvada is employing (ie. the strange, black plastic covered device on top of the patrol cars). The entire city is covered with surveillance cameras on all major intersections so the entire city is a speed-trap and invasion of privacy. | |

An officer sits in the parking lot of the Saint Joan of Arc church in an unmarked car but wearing a uniform. The speed limit there has been changed from 45mph. to 35mph. This is just west of Ward Road. I couldn't see his uniform very well. Maybe it's the KGB. He's in an unmarked car. | |

Usually motorcycle officers sit at the corner on the opposite side of the western dirt parking lot of the sports complex. The speed is now 40 and used to be 45mph. It's easy to go up to 45 by accident while travelling eastbound on 58th Ave. The speed limit should be 45 but the citizenry as a whole is not consulted at all on these issues. | |
