Springfield, Illinois Speed Traps

I-55 North of Springfield. This is a daily thing. The state police headquarters is near and I have never seen anything like this.

Grandview (as well as Jerome and Leland Grove villages, also within Springfield) is policed well, and they will get you if you go a mile over the limit. Granted, there’s several residences on this stretch of road, they’ll sit at virtually ANY business bordering North Grand Avenue east. At 30mph, it takes forever to get through. And now that we’ve got the new primary seat belt enforcement law, their policy is "No Mercy."

After the schools get out, between Amos St. and Chatham Rd. Officers usually hide on Washington’s smaller cross-streets near SHG’s West Campus.

It’s a 4 lane, one-way street and Officers will set up between the Amvets & Distinctive Designs to clock motorists as they come back up from a blind spot after going under a viaduct one block south. The speed is 35 mph and then goes down to 30 mph when you get past Ash St.

Officers randomly park at the south side of cornell facing 6th Street and target early morning rush hour traffic. Occasionaly officers will monitor this same location in the early evening.
