5 more major Denver speed traps

• Items 1 and 3 are the same - Speer changes name to 1st at Downing.  In item 5, shouldn't that be Dry Creek instead of Deer Creek? It's been written up as Deer Creek ever since last January at www.speedtrap.org/view/Colorado/126670, but is there such a thing? Thanks, Westword, for the good work.

• Nebraska took the economic incentive away by redirecting all fines to the general school fund.  Nothing like calling their bluff.

• Not quite a speed trap, but DPD officers post up in front of the goodwill on broadway at archer to bust drivers using the bus lane during restricted hours on weekdays

• That speed limit was left over from the horse and buggy era. The city just hasn't gotten around to updating the signs.

• Thanks, ALight. Much appreciated.

• Happy to do it, Erik.

• Thanks for the tip, quagland.

• 1st/gilpin is essentially the same as Speer/Downing to University.  Same stretch of road.  In my 20 years here, if it's a 30 mph zone, don't speed. 

• Living here the last 4 years...I agree with the survey about Denver and its speed traps. I notice allot of police sitting on bikes on in their cars cherry picking cars coming toward them...but what I say to people who don't want to be on the wrong end of a ticket is to do what I did.  I spent $500.00 on the top-of-the-line radar detector.  It picks up everything including those tools who sit in the photo vans!  It has a user update able database that you can get the marked speed traps & red light cameras.  Very easy to do on a PC. I haven't even come close to a ticket with this detector.  Its worth the money...and I would suggest everyone who reads this to buy one!  go to escortradar.com and take a look at the 9500IX....you won't regret it!   

• You guys f'n rule for having the balls to post this for us......Thank you!

• Don't forget 20th Street eastbound between Chestnut and Blake St. The speed limit dips down to 25 mph as you go under a bridge and then go uphill toward Wazee and Blake. The cops sit at the corner of Blake and pull cars over left and right. Like shooting fish in a barrel. There is no rational reason why the speed limit should be 25 here. Total speed trap.
