: The WMU power plant speed trap was in
: operation this afternoon at 2:26. This
: targets eastbound (towards downtown) drivers
: on Stadium Drive approaching the traffic
: light at Oliver Street. The speed limit on
: this five lane business route is 40 miles
: per hour.
:
: Today makes sense to have a speed trap in
: operation. Not only is the weather good
: (partly cloudy, 68 °F, and 33 °F dew
: point), but also it is secondary school
: closing time at the start of spring break
: week. Some high school students and
: families might be eager to get out of town.
: The all black KDPS patrol car had a redish
: mini-van pulled over when I passed by. I
: have gained an impression over the years
: that KDPS speed traps are particularly
: common on good weather days in early spring.
:
: One place I haven't seen a speed trap in a
: long time is West South Street before Oak
: Street. There used be an officer on a
: motorcycle here targeting traffic coming off
: Stadium Drive onto this 25 m.p.h.
: residential street.
:
: One popular speed trap location has changed:
: eastbound (towards campus) West Michigan
: Avenue at Fraternity Village Drive. There
: used to be a short right turn lane here
: where patrol cars would park. The widening
: of West Michigan Avenue from 4 lanes to 5
: has eliminated that right turn lane. I
: haven't seen this speed trap in operation
: since, but I imagine they will have to park
: down Fraternity Village Drive now. Past
: experience says this speed trap will be in
: operation frequently during the next month,
: particularly the week of April 23-27, final
: exam week at WMU.
:dude you rock please post more on stadium drive speed traps and police info
