Speed Trap Locations-- They give tickets!
If you speed in Sumter County, Lady Lake, Fruitland Park, or Marion County you will pay. I have been told the fines are around $200.00. I don't know anyone who has gotten a warning ticket or a verbal warning. So when you see someone stopped bingo $200.00. I warn all of our guests before they come here not to speed.
Below are the places that I have seen them stopping people. I am sure that there are many more places so let us know where you have seen them on a regular basis.
1. Newest one is the bridge on Morse Blvd just South of 466. This speed limit has been reduced to 25 mph. I have seen a motorcycle cop parked on the island where the plants are just off the South end of the bridge. He isn't there long he spends more time doing tickets. Don't ask me why they reduced the speed there to 25 mph wait and ask the officer when you are signing the ticket and let us know. So you birds beware of this change when you return.
2. South bound traffic just past Arnold Palmer's on Buena Vista. They stand in the left turn lane at the entrance to The Village of Bridgeport at Lake Sumter. When they are there they have 3 to 4 cars pulled over.
3. South bound traffic on Buena Vista they stand in the entrance to Lake Miona Regional Recration Center. It has been a while since I have seen them there.
4. East & West bound traffic on 466A just East of Buena Vista in the vacant area on the North side of 466A just East of Turtle Mound Golf Course.
5. Fruitland Park Police have been stopping people on the stretch of 466A just East of where the 4 lanes become 2. That is the start of Fruitland Park city limits.
6. North bound Buena Vista just North of the Polo Field.
7. Lady Lake has just installed lights over the stop lights at many cross streets. They are blue and the officer dosen't have to be in view of the stop light to see if you run the light. These lights are blue take a look at them and you will see how they work. They are paying for them as you are reading this.
I am sure that there are more than this but these are the ones that I see often. I also see them more in the AM than the PM. If it is raining they aren't there they are at Dunkin Donuts.
Remember I don't know of anyone who has gotten a warning ticket or that has just gotten a verbal warning. They will write you a ticket. Bingo $200.00
Let us know where you see them.
