Normal, Illinois Speed Traps
Northtown Road near Towanda Avenue
Four lane road with speed limit of 45. Radar officer sits either in Ironwood golfcourse entrance or sits in the subdivision entrance. Received a ticket for six miles over the limit, be careful!
West Hovey Avenue near Cottage Avenue
Normal police will sit on side streets all along West Hovey between Cottage Ave on the west and Adelaide to the East.
Rabb Road near Linden Road
The road is a 4 lane street and a school is on it. Speed limit is only 35 mph. A cop is sitting in the entrance to Wintergreen subdivision. I always put my cruise control on on this street to avoid getting a ticket. I received a ticket 1 year ago and I try and avoid Rabb road as much as possible.
W. College Avenue near Between Towanda and Linden Streets
Normal Police cars sit anywhere in the area between Towanda Ave and Linden St on W. College. The limit is 30 MPH, but should be faster since it’s a 4 lane street. A favorite time of year for them to run radar is when ISU students are moving into the dorms and classes begin.
Fort Jesse Road
Speed limit drops to 30 mph from 45 mph as you cross Hershey Ave toward Veterans Parkway! Very easy to lose track of your speed in this area. Enforcment is very frequent!
