Maricopa Police Department recorded shocking speeds last month as part of the city’s ongoing radar trailer program, including one vehicle barreling down Honeycutt Road at 115 mph — nearly three times the speed limit.

From Sept. 9 to Sept. 23, the department deployed radar trailers at five locations across the city to monitor driver behavior. The data, released this week, show consistent speeding across nearly every stretch of monitored roadway.

At Honeycutt Road between Santa Rosa Parkway and Glennwilde Drive, where the 45-mph limit is meant to protect dense residential and school traffic, drivers averaged 45.6 mph — but the maximum hit 115.

Other top speeds included 98 mph on both Sonoran Desert Parkway and Smith-Enke Road between Porter Road and Province Parkway, and 94 mph on Murphy Road near Desert Sunrise High School.

Even at White and Parker Road near Wildhorse Trail, a typically slower area near Homestead, the radar trailer recorded a 79-mph maximum.

Despite the triple-digit outliers, the department’s data show that average speeds across all five locations were at or below the 45-mph limit. Officials say the trailers are designed not only to identify extreme violators but to measure overall compliance and guide future enforcement and traffic-engineering decisions.

“We want people to take control of their actions while operating a vehicle. They have a responsibility to follow the law, and that includes following the speed limit,” said Sgt. Hal Koozer, who leads MPD’s Traffic Unit. “Often, these signs remind drivers to check their speedometer, and slow down.”

Altogether, the five trailers captured traffic data from more than 300,000 vehicles, with average daily counts exceeding 8,000 cars on Smith-Enke alone.
