Watch out, when cuising up I-25 from Colorado you get used to 75 or 80 and when you enter the town of Cheyenne the speed limit drops to 65 (one sign warning of the change) and then the State Patrol will be waiting for you with instant on radar. Beware!

Immediately after exiting I-80 you are in a construction zone. As you enter I-25 you have difficulty finding posted speed signs which is 45 mph. Traffic moves faster than the posted speed but out of state cars are stopped for speeding. A real welcome for out of state tourists. Fines are double since this is a construction zone.

A cop will park at the abandoned gas station at the corner of Dunn and Pershing where westbound Pershing comes down a steep hill before you get to the cemetery. If you're speeding when you crest the hill, it's probably too late to slow down. I've seen many people get pulled over here, most of them heading westbound, but a few also heading eastbound.

Tourists and other drivers passing through Cheyenne should be aware that, unlike most of the state, this is a strict enforcement jurisdiction. It is a cultural thing. The mayor, for example, has reported that the number one complaint and request by residents is that people drive too fast, and that the police should make them slow down. This is a particularly serious problem for Cheyenne drivers in that the speed limits are also unrealistically slow -- e.g., 30 mph on 4-lane major arterial roadways that would be 40 or 45 in most places, including nearby Fort Collins, Colorado. The local police have shown themselves overwhelmingly ineffectual at stopping a recent rash of armed robberies (most of which remain unsolved), but the local constables take pride in going for the low-hanging, low-risk fruit -- "speeders." School zones are 20 mph, and they are very strictly enforced. Cheyenne likes to think it is a "progressive" city, but it has gained a nationwide reputation as a "speed trap" on a par with the worst southern municipalities of similar repute. DRIVERS BEWARE!

On Converse Ave between the Dell Range Blvd intersection and the new stop light at the intersection next to the softball field at the Airport Pkwy turn. The place where they sit on either side is called Airport Rd but we all know it as the little league fields parking lot. The police sometimes sit back a ways to see if you will notice them.

Watch out while traveling on Dell Range across from the Wyoming Air National Guard base- specifically at the Sunset Dr. intersection... I was rescently pulled over for going 47 in a 40, while keeping up with the speed of traffic (I was the lucky guy following everyone else). Watch out when on this part of Dell Range, or you may become victim to the schemes of the morons that call themselves the Cheyenne Police Department.

This section of I-25 is very heavily patrolled. Much of the time, three or four dark brown sedans or SUVs will be patrolling this 12-mile stretch of Interstate south of Cheyenne to the Colorado Border. Tickets be issued for speeds over 79 mph. This is in contrast to Northern Colorado where you will be left alone up to 85 mph. Often, they will sit right at the border on the northbound lanes and use radar that points out the rear window. They will sit on the shoulder just a few yards on the Wyoming side of the border with all lights off at night. Sometimes it is done during the weeee hours of the night. This 12-mile-long speed trap has been in place for years.
