Beech Grove, Indiana Speed Traps

Cop will hide his car on side street and will aim the gun at cars in the middle of the street-hiding behind cars as he pulls the over. Can and will cause a major accident. Fine is 150 dollars highway robbery.

This is a fun one that IPD likes to do. For about a 2 mile stretch of Raymond Street, between Sherman and Emerson, they’ll get about 3 cars waiting in the shadows where there aren’t any street lights. The speed limit is 40 through here, so watch it when you go down the hill near Sherman Drive. I think they do it to deter drag racing on Friday and Saturday nights, mainly. Probably a good idea, its a nice open stretch of 4 and 6 lane divided.

This area is behind Beech Grove High School. So it not only has a speed limit of 25 mph, but also you can be given a $1000 speeding ticket. Beech Grove Police always show up at traffic court. I have seen many pulled over and ticketed.
