Pompton Lakes, New Jersey Speed Traps
Stretch of Colfax Ave from Wanaque to Oakland Ave
The speed limit on this road is 25 MPH and the police hide off the side streets. If you come in from Oakland (south) the limit drops from 35 to 25 MPH.
Wanaque Avenue and Lakeside
Police sit just inside the intersection on Lakeside and clock cars as they come across the railroad tracks towards the Starbucks. I work right there, and they must pick up 10-15 cars a day.
Ringwood Ave heading towards Thatchers
Speed Limit is 35. Cops are always sitting with lights off in the Villa Madrid Parking Lot. This is the resturant before the tracks. BE CAREFUL!
Hamburg Turnpike near Post Lane
When you are on Newark Pompton Tpke the Speed limit Posted is 35. When you make a Right onto the Hamburg Tpke and travel East on Newark Pompton Tpke the Speed limit drops to 25, However NO SIGNS are posted on the East Bound Lane from Newark Pompton On. As soon as you go past the small Commercial district there is a Cop that Sits in a Parking Lot just past the Railroad tracks. You assume the Speed limit is 35 and are likely to do 40 as it is late at night and you are on a Main Road. Well Guess what You just got POPPED. If you do more than 30 on this Stretch they will PULL you over.
