Speed Trap at Maryland Avenue and 35E in St. Paul


There is a Speed Trap at Maryland Avenue and 35E in St. Paul, Minnesota. As shown in my photo, this is a major road and should be at least 35 MPH. Yet behind that jumble of tree branches on the right, there is a sign that says 30 MPH. As multiple police squads will wait here to trap motorists (instead of fighting real crime), clearly this is a way for St. Paul to rape the public and collect $126 fines in excess. Having driven this section a lot and also knowing someone who recently got a ticket here (for driving 35 MPH in a 30 MPH), contested it (using this and other photos) and lost, I will tell you this stretch of road is a hazard to your bank account and St. Paul should cease such unethical practices.
