Deerfoot Crackdown

**RSeXy** · 10-13-2003, 11:54 PM

It started this past Sunday...and wow! most people are abiding by the rules...

one of the few times travelling deerfoot where i haven't gotten tailgated, cut off or had some yo swaying to my lane b/c he/she can't control his.her car on the turns at "excessive" speeds! haha

apparently there is zero tolerance for two weeks...just like in July. drive safe and hopefully nobody gets ticketed!

yah, i drive deerfoot once in a blue moon and when i do, its hell, bout time they do this, again.

**xkon** · 10-14-2003, 12:08 AM

ahhh... that would explain the 2 cops i saw pulled over tonight! id better slow down! i usually go 110

**CRX-R** · 10-14-2003, 12:10 AM

yeah they're ticketing everything over 101km/h, tailgating, no signal lane changes and they're out there 24 hours a day. Mind you it's not such a bad thing, too many people think the Deerfoot is Indy Speedway

Just saw a thing on A-Channel this morning. What they had was a cop on a bridge with laser tagging guys and radioing ahead to have them pull over. The cop on the bridge was crouching really low, you'd never spot him, plus he was nailing people as they were driving past the bridge not coming up like they normally do.

**92 Teg-B18A** · 10-14-2003, 04:07 PM

Heh, good thing there where no police on the stretch that I drove last night then

I stuck the S in cruise at 110 for a good long stretch! Good thing I didn't get a ticket!

That would be the easiest ticket to fight probably, as he is most likely identifying cars by description and not by licence plate...Those kind of tickets usually don't hold water to well..
This morning I was travelling towards deerfoot on Anderson RD, about 4:30 am , I cross acadia, I think I see something, so I hover my foot over the brake pedal just in case, there is a cop car sitting in the dark on the centre meridian, the cop walks out into the path of my van which is travelling at 75 km/hr.. Real smart cops we have in this city....I jam on the brakes, the car behind me, just about rear ends me, there are cars now honking the horn and skidding, the cops are checking cars for unscraped windshields and side windows for public safety, meanwhile causing mass chaos on Anderson... I tell yah...takes brains....

**CRX crazy** · 10-14-2003, 08:51 PM

on my way to work yesterday i saw multinova, then like 2kms up a bike cop had a truck pulled over, then like another 2kms up there was another cop with his radar gun out. Last crackdown i didn't see any cops the whole two weeks. Maybe they didn't make enough money last time that they have to do it again!

**girlRACER** · 10-14-2003, 09:53 PM

They're everywhere! I saw 2 on Lake Fraser Dr (the road behind Avenida mall) and another one on Canyon Meadows Drive for the last few nights.

It's a good thing I've been taking the C-Train. I probably would've got a ticket on Deerfoot.

**Mckenzie** · 10-14-2003, 10:11 PM

The cop this morning on A Channel said they are targeting drivers doing over 120 (it doesnt mean the wont gaffle ya' under 120). The highest speed they recorded was 149.

**rice_eater** · 10-15-2003, 12:24 AM

and you usually set your cruise at 160 if i remember correctly

**BigMass** · 10-15-2003, 11:39 AM

They should ticket people that drive under 100 on Deerfoot.

**kenny** · 10-15-2003, 01:29 PM

Drove on deerfoot today and wow, it feels so weird now because EVERYBODY is doing about 100km/h and nobody is in the fast lane, its completely open. Looks like this time around everyone is scared. Its not often you can drive at 100 and have nobody pass you. No cops all along Deerfoot though, so I'm not sure how they are cracking down.

**Altezza** · 10-15-2003, 03:09 PM

Hmm...Looks like I'll have to find another way to work... Didn't know about this crackdown...lets see if I get a photo in the mail soon or not. Man, I was wondering why the fast lane was completely empty.

**RiceCake** · 10-15-2003, 10:51 PM

Just came home on Deerfoot.... 2 multinovas accross from one another. I'm doing about 100 in the fast lane when a saturn doing 70 km/h cuts in front of me without signaling....... I've had it with F@cking Saturns this week!!!!!

First I get into an accident because the Saturn 2 cars behind me doesn't know how to brake.... now tonight another Saturn can't signal when switching lanes

**Redlyne_mr2** · 10-15-2003, 11:03 PM

Watch out for the Dodge brothers! The police are getting tricky theyve been patrolling deerfoot in a dark purple intrepid and a white durango, both look like civilian vehicles. I also saw the police in a mint early 90s dodge van going after someone...be careful
