Grand Haven, Michigan Speed Traps
Robinson Avenue near 160 th Street
The road goes up and down from 35mph to 25mph and that is where they are watching. The police are always on Robinson knowing that us normal humans do not go 25 on streets that are a mix of commercial and residential without any schools. Use Comstock ave, it is a 45mph road but it does have a school so watch your speed during posted hours.
State Highway US 31 South near Robbins Rd. Crossing
US 31 S between Robbins Rd. in Grand Haven and Holland, straight and safe, a 55 posted limit on a highway that also serves semi traffic. This is the only route between Grand Haven and Holland, and the morning traffic is frequently heavy, with cars sharing two lanes with semi drivers. The Grand Haven PD and the Ottawa county SD hide their vehicles between stands of pine trees on this stretch, at all hours of the day and night. They particularly love to ticket drivers who are trying to get around slow moving semis (an extremely aggravating problem, especially during the morning commute). This stretch of highway brings in significant revenue and the officers will not hesitate to pull you over and slap you with a ticket for 1-5 over… I have seen the same officers ticketing different drivers only five or ten minutes apart on both sides of the same stretch of highway. The officers use rader and they also track… and they do tend to exaggerate, regarding your actual clocked speed.

N. Griffin Street near Jackson Street
Heading South on N. Griffin Street, just before you curve to the left and it becomes Jackson Street, you will find the Cops sitting on either side of the road, either in their vehicles or outside, shooting radar at the unsuspecting motorists who don’t expect a 30mph zone on a four-lane street like this one. They typically work it from early afternoon on through the pm rush hour. This is a popular route for G.H. workers heading home northbound, as they try to avoid the ‘cluster’ that is US-31 through G.H.
