Sparta, New Jersey Speed Traps
Father John’s Lane near Father John’s Lane
At the bottom of the hill just at the Lafayette border, on the southbound side in Zinga’s parking lot. (Which I believe any business is considered private property and off limits for sitting and waiting. I wouldn’t want them sitting in my driveway.) They’ll catch north and south and north can’t see him at all until the lights are on behind you.
US Highway 15 near US Highway 80
On road #15 in Sparta, New Jersey as you come from, or go to Road #80 there is a short span that is a speed trap. The town policeman sits there waiting for victims. Most people are from out of state in the traffic court. I watched most plates from Jersey just flying. They ticket everyone 80 something in a 55, fines are over $200. People with 23 years of clean driving were caught.
State Route 15
Sparta cops sit right on their own entrance rd. from Police headquarters to rt 15 South. You cannot see them if your traveling south. The speed limit is 55mph and they constantly have a chain of patrol cars doing a loop on rt 15. I see someone pulled over almost every time I travel through here. Speed trap?
State Route 15 near State Route 181
As you enter Township of Sparta, and start down the hill on Route 15. They wait in the median to catch people going north bound and they wait at the bottom of the hil near the municpal building to catch north and south bound.
State Highway 15 near Exit Number RT 517
Officers sit on median’s typically after a sharp bend. Can be found anywhere from CR 517 until just before the Jefferson border (3 Mile Span). I see at least 1 to 2 people pulled over each time I travel down. (I use it at least 2 times per day!)
