There's almost always a speed trap going towards the US border/Hwy99 at Peace Arch just before the duty free. You can't see them until the very last minute. Every time I drive through there, they've stopped 2-3 cars. I would suggest slowing down as soon as you see the 60km/h sign...

sweet! this thread became a sticky :D

edit: i just noticed there's 3 F's in "official" of the thread title.

isn't the best for someone to experience being stopped for speeding rather than 'pretending' that they are going under/within the limit?

let's face it, if someone knows where they are they'll slow down but as soon as they've passed it they'll speed up again...

ITS SPEEDTRAP TRAINNING DAY!

jsut a heads up, Number 4 Road North bound and Alderbridge way(where the base is), theres 10+ cops there standing outside trainning on how to use the radar gun.

And the first thing they learn is that it's a laser, not radar.

I see it more as, a heads up, where normal people can be extra cautious. I'm sure there are members that got tickets coming down a hill, or simply not realizing the speed limit changes, and getting punished for it.

The chronic speeders will eventually get caught.

WARNING: Speed trap at Richmond Freeways Eastbound 0.5km after shell...

alderbridge way/ HWY 91 westbound into Richmond, right after Shell Rd-railroad tracks.

I was heading east, but I saw a cop hiding on the side of the road with a radar gun.
The cop was well hidden, plus it was at night.

Woot thanks!

Today at the intersection of 72nd and 112th in Delta, police were standing in the middle of the road to catch people talking on their cellphones as soon as they turned onto 112th. Handing out warnings for now.

ivanz 01-11-2010 11:07 AM

They pulled over around 4 people going up Gagliardi...at first I though it was a pileup!
They seem to be there whenever the weather is crappy...

Excessive speeding? That bridge is 50km/h?

One of the VPD people said in the paper that the VPD only busts you if you go 20 over the speed limit...and they had a picture of them at the viaduct catching people a few days back.
