The Aurora Bridge speed trap

Seattle motorcycle cops are back at it today at the north end of the Aurora Bridge, catching northbound speeders. We see them there a few times a month — the only consistent speed trap we’re familiar with in the general Ballard-Phinney-Fremont area (anyone else know of any?) While I would normally whine about speed traps, speeders on the nailbiting Aurora Bridge are just plain dangerous. 40 MPH is fast enough, if you ask me.

Update: Few more speed traps to add from comments below. “M” says motorcycle cops also hang out at the north end of the Ballard Bridge, near Louie’s. Kais says that there’s also an occasional speed trap on 3rd Ave, southbound, in the school zone just south of Market. And for Fremont commuters, Chris says that motorcycle cops hide in the clutter of cars on the east side of Westlake and catch folks going southbound.
