Idk, a bike cop sitting out in the open checking for speeders doesn’t sound very nefarious to me. You know how fucking fast people go down national right there?

People speed everywhere around here. Glenstone is terrible.

People go fast everywhere man, and giving people tickets isn’t lowering the amount of traffic deaths we have anytime soon

Better than us having to do death notifications and explain to your family why you aren’t coming home. I’ve been on both sides and it sucks. 🤷🏾‍♂️

To be honest I live on National between Bennet and Sunshine, there are constant accidents from people speeding around slower cars. The worst is when people fly across National at the Portland intersection causing a t-bone accident. Lived here 4 years and seen about a handful of those exact accidents. Thanks for letting us know though lol

The Can Opener trestle on Grant has claimed as many, if not more, victims. It's a stationary object ffs. Your stat is better than I'd expect.

Not today but that happened to me too. I now know to go exactly 35 through that area. Had never been pulled over before but that was my first speeding ticket

Don't speed, won't be no worries.

Can confirm. Drove to Chipotle..car pulled over. Drove back down Chipotle… car pulled over on other side of street.

I’m all for more traffic enforcement. I’ve dealt with way too many dead drivers. But being as I don’t drive that stretch much, is that really some hotspot for fatality accidents?

I’d much rather see them dealing with all the tailgaters and general psychos on 65 and 60 during rush hour.

I’m a proud graduate of the city motorcycle cop speeding ticket court diversion program…I was a speeder but just stopped after being on diversion for 6 months.

The city needs a new model…one motorcycle cop for speed rarely addresses deeper issues. A team of two, such as running the light at chestnut and Kansas would pay out…but a 3 person team of one observer and two downstream cops…one on a pullover and the other waiting would address a lot of more technical issues in traffic.

Speed is not always the biggest issue. There are a ton of other unsafe actions.

Police actually doing their jobs?!?!?! Shocked.

They've got better things to do than extract more money from people just going a couple mph faster on a busy roadway.

Like solving violent crimes that happen enough to make us the 0 percentile of unsafe cities

I'm pretty sure the guys running radar aren't the ones responsible for that.

I don’t know why you got downvoted, you’re correct 😂 the traffic cops don’t handle calls for service not traffic related

Right. I didn't even bring up the death count from traffic incidents being on par with the crimes they say need more officer attention.

They get the radar when they go on speed trapping duty. It's one job of many they could get that day.
