The city won't do anything with this area because of the major revenues it gets from the speed trap. The city cops pull over hundreds of cars a month coming over the fly by. People don't notice the smaller than normal 40mph speed limit sign placed in a difficult spot. Most often overlooked because of drivers moving through the congestion listed above. As soon as a driver comes over the hill... bam! you're nailed with a nice ticket. I live directly across from where 3-5 cops pull people over drivers with hand held stop signs. They are out there weekly, if not daily. Its a shame our police force is stealing money from innocent people when they should be protecting us. Sorry I had to voice my opinion because I've been watching these cops do this for past 3-4 years at this same area. I also risk my life each day trying to get myself through the merging lanes and I-45 cheaters. The yield sign is definitely in the wrong place... upper lane has great vision, but bottom lane is blind... and NO ONE coming from Memorial yields for the Houston Ave traffic. Thats where the cops should give tickets... to people blatantly avoiding the yield sign. This same exit, flyby, is one of, if not the biggest, speed traps in all of Houston.
