Hey guys, I was just driving up from mass and there is a speed trap on 95 right near the 295 exit. They have the white van on the overpass and 4-5 cruisers right around the area.

Just a heads up!

Last weekend they sat the van right on top of the southern most Westbrook exit. They hit you with the radar/laser/whatever, and the cops sit on the on ramp and get radio'd the targets.

 
i hate those traps, seriously, cant cops get a real ****ing job and investage all of the drug action going on rather then give a hoot that we are doing 10 over the "limit"?

settle down.

I do more miles than most of the members here. 75 on the dot every day. They never blink unless you are topping 80.

 
but im always topping 80 lol, most of the time with the flow of traffic, and with my 22 foot truck and 20 foot enclosed car trailer with car inside haha.. i just think they could find something better to do then set up a trap is all..

I know a few of them and just like the rest of us, they are "told" what to do while they are on the job.

 
theyre not very sneaky .. .. . a big white van??? on an overpass??? with tinted windows not moving????!!!!! what could it beeeeeee?

i like the Cessna in the summertime over the portland 295 area. now that is a challenging speed trap. . . .

Ya, I was talking to him a few weeks ago (State Police hanger is right across from ours) and he said on a avg day he nails around 80-90 people.

I was shocked they did that much. That plane is sweet it has the turbo kit. I think it was 220hp or there bouts.

 
just watch out for any stretch of road with the intermittant white hash marks on the shoulder, and the eye in the sky won't bother ya. oh yea, and what he ^ said

 
wha? Why?

when driving on the highway, you may notice white lines, perpindicular from the solid white line on the right shoulder, that extends off to the side of the rd. they are set at fixed increments, the guy in the plane has a stopwatch, and clocks you from point to point. if you make it before the set time for the speed limit is up, then you are speeding. they call one of the 12 cop cars that are hiding on the onramp a mile up, and they just pull out and grab you. most of the time you will never see the plane, as they fly in a circular orbit above and behind you.

 
Those hash marks are generally set every 1/4 mile so if it takes you 15 seconds in between marks you`re doing 60 . If it takes you only 7-1/2 second you`re doing 120.

A little known fact: The original purpose for a sunroof was so you could spot those suckers up there.

On the subject of speed traps, also be careful if you take the exit off I-295 to Martin's Point and Rt.1 into Falmouth. It goes from 55mph to 35mph immediately, and then 30mph. It is VERY easy and likely that you will not see the sign and continue on at a reasonable 40-45mph before you see the 30mph sign, and they know it. The used to set up with one car with the radar right after it goes to 30mph, and then a few more pull out of Martin's Point Hospital to nab you as you get on the bridge. They've done it at all different hours, too.
