Sherman, Connecticut Speed Traps
Route 37 and 39 split at the Sherman School
Tropper sits in school parking lot. He can radar in both directions and straight ahead. Speed limit is 25mph
About 1/2 mile out of town on Route 37 North
There is a small cut out in the road right past the red light, if you are traveling north. If traveling south you will get trapped comming down the hill shortly after you cross over from New Milford. During the night the tropper is tucked in so tight, you cant see them until it is to late. Speed limit is 35mph.
State Highway Rt 37 & 39 near Catholic Church
State Trooper will sit in main driveway,parking lot behind the Priests house or over to the side of soccer parking lot. Speed Limit is a very slow 25mph.Another spot is located on the hill as you come into town from Rt 55, next to the IGA. Speed limit drops from 45 to 25mph. He actually is very adept at hiding all over town at all hours of the day or night. There is also a second Trooper that pops in regularly so don’t assume that you are safe to go faster after you spot the first one. Although it is extremely annoying I have to grudgingly give them credit for creativity and diligence.
