Troy, Michigan Speed Traps
I-75 Southbound between Long Lake and Wattles
Michigan State Police sit in the median facing Northbound running radar. I believe they are watching Southbound traffic as cars come over the peak of the hill next to White Chapel Cemetery. This trap is between the Crooks Rd and Big Beaver exits off 75.
East Square Lake by Slate Drive
There are utility boxes on the south side of the road near Slate Drive, the police back in there and it’s difficult to see them until you are right on them, and by then it’s too late. This is a 40MPH zone so they get a lot of people here.
East bound Long Lake Rd just past the I-75 overpass
There is a field on the south side of east bound Long Lake Rd just past the I-75 overpass. The police back in to this field so you can’t see them until you go under the I-75 overpass then it’s too late. Long Lake narrows down from 3 lanes east of Crooks Rd. to 2 lanes and people speed up in order to merge. The speed limit is 45mph but it is easy to gain speed since it’s a mile to the next light.
Crooks Rd. between Square Lake Rd. & South Blvd.
Troy cop sits back off Crooks Rd. on a side street about 1/2 way inbetween 19 & 20 mile.
I-75 Southbound between Coolidge Highway and Crooks Rd.
Opening in between guardrail on your left when going southbound. Have seen unmarked Camaro with drivers side door open and the laser gun shooting back towards your car running ready to go parallel to the traffic. Also, have seen the Crown Victorias facing the traffic perpendicular. Usually around 3:30pm on my commute home.
