Jens Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Any votes for "worst speed traps" on roads to climbs? This was a thread several years ago but it has changed. For instance, Concrete, WA on the way to the north cascades was at the top of everyone's list, but they got rid of their cop. here's some *Ritzville (I-90) *Westbound I-90 coming back from the pass in the afternoon at the denny creek overpass. *2 miles due east of greenwater during ski season *Coming down to Ellensburg off elk heights on i-90 *Centrailia on the way to Portland (i-5) *The straightaway on highway 97 a few miles south of the highway 2 junction. *Eatonville, WA -Don't even stop or get out of your car in this town. *Highway 2 just in front of the turn off to Peshastin Pinnacles Quote
ClimbingPanther Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 That's funny about Ellensburg. I've always thought that would be a prime place but have never seen a cop once in the many times I've driven that way. On the other hand... two words: I-84 from Portland to Hermiston, the whole thing! They're not too anal though, as I've occasionally been going (oops!) 10 mph over without getting stopped once. Quote
mattp Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 I think Concrete may now be less of a problem. I heard from a local that they lost their cop there after some kind of political issue or something. Quote
Off_White Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 This Friday is going to be a good day to watch out, supposedly they're having a big anti dui/speed/reckless emphasis day with lots of extra cops on the street. Quote
W Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 I think Concrete may now be less of a problem. I heard from a local that they lost their cop there after some kind of political issue or something. A friend got a spendy ticket there once. His quote afterwards was "I think I just bought the Concrete Police Department a year's supply of inflatable dolls!" Quote

There's a law someone ought to check into. Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Jens you have a long list there. Methinks you must drive with a lead foot. Quote
Weekend_Climberz Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Black Diamond is still a bitch, too Quote
G-spotter Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 From the half-title on the forum list, I thought this was gonna be an updated list of human-dog speed ascents Quote
