SpeedTrapAhead reader Travis S. emailed recently to warn drivers in Austin of a dangerous Speed Trap area for westbound traffic on W. 15th street, just after passing the Lamar bridge.

Travis, who stated he hadn’t had a ticket in well over five years, got a surprise when he was cited for speeding in that area. Then, to add insult to injury, he got another just nine days later, even when he knew about the danger around that area and, “was trying to be careful.” Sorry, Travis.

Also in that area, there are often motorcycle cops along the small feeder roads to MoPac. Such as, westbound Enfield after turning left onto Winsted Lane. This is basically a residential road that is a feeder approaching MoPac. Keep your speed down here, as it is easy to get going too fast in your anticipation of entering the onramp.

Travis, thanks for your tip. Sorry that you’re having to deal with these unfortunate tickets; but, perhaps your experience will help others to avoid the same misfortune. Anyone else that knows of a especially nasty speed trap area, please email us. Even if it’s somewhere outside of Austin, let us know that too! We’re wanting to make the speed trap map as comprehensive as possible.
