Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Speed Traps
E Square Lake Rd & Kentmoor Rd
Cop hides behind the trees on the driveway into Bowers Farm, timing cars from both directions.
Woodward and Trowbridge Rd
Unmarked Black vehicle sits in the turnaround facing S/B Woodward traffic. He leaves his left turn signal on the make the S/B traffic think he is just turn left. Woodward is 50 mph through there, but nobody drives 50. Seems like a trout pond for the Bloomfield Police.
Woodward Avenue near Condo Parking Lot
Officer hides in the Condo parking lot behind the bushes. Gets cars going east and west on Hickery Grove. Usually in the early AM.
Interstate 75 near Sit under Squirrel Road Overpass
State PD and Bloomfield boys sit in the dark under the overpass at Squirrel just at the end of the Sq. Lk. on ramp. Both motorcycle and car enforcement and they laser you far away as you drive southbound.
(I-75 S. at Sq. Lk on ramp)
Square Lake Road near Interstate 75
As the motorist heading south on I-75 exits the freeway at Square Lake Road headed west for Woodward Avenue, there is an extended ramp. The speed limit on the ramp is 55. The prevailing speed on I-75 is between 75 and 80 MPH. The ramp pavement is new and the inclination is to maintain expressway speed.
As the motorist proceeds into Bloomfield Hills the speed drops to 50 MPH and immediately on the right is a recreation tennis and swim club.
The officer sits in the apartment building parking lot generally shielded from view by the Swim Club sign.
By the time you see the officer, it’s too late. Most folks are still in Michigan freeway mode and are travelling @ 70 MPH. It’s three lanes so why not?
It can be there any time except rush hour. Saturday & Sunday AM or PM is more likely. Best rule is to run from I-75 to Woodward at 55 MPH and laugh at anybody who goes by.
