Speedtraps I'm aware of in the IE/OC

Bruce asked for speed traps I'm aware of on the 60 and 10 freeways in the IE. I am just going to post several I know of that I have physically seen cops or know friends who have received tickets in these places. It seems kind of scandalous and wrong that I'm posting these... hahaha... Mr. Law Abiding Citizen (mostly- with the exception of speeding), but it seems pretty common knowledge if you drive these areas. So I'm just sharing...

91 Freeway
91W at Green River as you enter the Fastrak lanes in Corona/OC border.
91W and 91E as you go under the 15 freeway in Corona.

60 Freeway
60W and 60 E at Haven in Ontario.
60W and 60E between Etiwanda and Pyrite in Riverside.

10 Freeway
10 W and 10E at Haven in Ontario.

15 Freeway
15 near Magnolia in Corona.

134 Freeway
134 at Forest Lawn in Burbank as you're rounding the bend in the freeway I've seen cops.

Interstate 215
215 between Oleander and Nuevo Roads in Perris

215 at La Cadena and Center Streets in Grand Terrace

215 near Rainbow, California - The area around the border checkpoint- although it is 50 miles north of the border, 10 miles south of Temecula

Highway 74
Leaving Lake Elsinore near the Candy Shop (landmark, a candy store, that is often referred to on radio during traffic reports if there is an accident) - last hideout on the 74 for cops since the road narrows and is a 2 lane road.

On your way to Soboba Casino on highway 74 between Juniper Flatts and Sanderson between Romoland and Hemet.

Oh, and while we're on the subject of speeding, here's what my mom says...
When you started driving you were a very slow, very cautious driver. You've sped up. You're still cautious and safe, but you're very fast. You're faster than anyone in the family. You drive about 10 miles an hour more than everyone else.

LOL... I can just about keep up with my neighbor, Mrs. G.

Linda keeps telling everyone how fast I drive. She told the special ed. inclusion teacher we work with the other day that we could go to lunch and I could drive because I drive so fast we will get there in no time. She tells Mel that I speed everywhere I go, and am probably faster than her. I laugh.

I am not like Linda. I don't saunter out to the car, then have to walk around it to check for debris, gravel, whatever that may have ended up around the car. I don't check my car for dents and dings unless a car has parked really close to me. I don't slowly lift myself into my car, then buckle my seatbelt, check my makeup, check fluid levels/instrument panel, and then head out. I walked out to the parking lot the same time as Linda yesterday to go to dinner before I had class. I said goodbye as she got in her car. I went to the restaurant that is 3 miles away and about 10 minutes. I get there a full 6 minutes before her.

Thanks Mike!! I'll have to watch out for those on the 60 on Sunday afternoons. The 10 on Friday afternoon is usually so congested that speeding isn't a problem until I'm almost in Palm Springs. The stretch after the 60 merges with the 10 until I get off on the 111 is where I look down at the speedometer and I'm reaching the 100 mph mark. Yikes. The Ry development sounds like it might lead to interesting things. Good luck with that.
