Lemont, Illinois Speed Traps
Lemont Road near between hill & bridge
Cops sit at the bottom of the hill coming down Lemont Road at night with their lights off. The speed limit at the top of the hill is 45 but by the time you get to the bottom of the hill, depending on your vehicle, you could be doing 50 – 55+mph without touching the gas. Lived in this town all my life and sometimes I STILL forget to slow down! They also watch for speeders coming over the bridge!
