SPEEDTRAP LOCATIONS

By sss2nv 9 NOV, 2008
Stellenbosch/ Paarl/ Somerset West/ Gordons Bay


Stellenbosch Strand road Three cameras (trapping both ways, speeding and running the red light) at the first 4-way robot as you come down the hill from the direction of the golf estate (Somerset west side). Speed limit 60 kph.
Klapmuts/Paarl R44 As you come into Klapmuts from Stellenbosch side there is a camera on the left side of the road opposite the store. 60km/h.

Stellenbosch R310 As you come into town from Kuilsriver the first robot inside town next to Distell has a camera trapping speed and running red. Actually the whole zone from entering Stellenbosch to that robot is a hotzone. They sometimes also catch after the robot when you come closer to bridge.

Stellenbosch / Paarl R44 When driving from Stellenbosch towards Paarl there is one about 5km outside Stellenbosch as you come down the hill. Trapping both ways. 100km/h zone.
Paarl Klein Parys There are two speedtraps just across the Electricity Dep. Face in either direction: When you come from Franschhoek to Paarl. It is a 60 zone. The cameras are not hidden and clearly visible.

Somerset West Main Road - below Heldervue As you head into Somerset West from Firgrove, before the traffic light intersection of Lobelia street and Main street. Random radar trapping from within the the shrubs near the bus stop below the Abundant Life church.
Warning: 60km/h zone. Possibly trapping both directions.
Somerset West Main Road On the corner of Main road and Upper Orange road, white vehicle parked on open ground. Radar Camera on westward traffic. Usually there on a Saturday morning.

Paarl N1 North bound Coming into the Hugenot Tunnel from the Paarl side, about 400 meters in are two big permanent camers watching both directions. Then before you leave the tunnel on the Worcester side, there are two more cameras watching both directions. Entrance from Worcester the cameras are also about 400 meters in.
Somerset West R44 There is an occasional manual camera on the R44 in the dip of the road between the Lord Charles Hotel robot and the bridge crossings over the R102 and N2. The camera points towards Stellenbosch bound traffic but can pick up Strand bound traffic. The is usually a white van parked illegally beyond the yellow line to mask the camera. Speed limit 60.

Gordons Bay / Strand Faure Marine Drive On the Faure Marine Drive from Strand to Gordons Bay just passed the Broadlands robot, the fixed camera is hidden among the median undergrowth facing and trapping Gordons Bay bound traffic only. Speed limit 60.
Kuilsriver / Stellenbosch Polkadraai Rd The cop hides at the entrance road to Polkadraai Farm Stall and traps both sides as you come down the hill - at the bottom where one usally is fastest. From stellenbosch their is no camera sign under the 100km/h sign but from Kuils River it is indicated. This is the worst(most lucrative) money making position I have ever seen.
