Red Hook, New York Speed Traps
Parking lot area of the red brick Lutheran Church
Church and parking lot are located on the northbound side of Route 9 (Broadway). Village police vehicles monitor traffic and initiate ticketing from this location. Speed limit is 30mph. Don’t go 31. Hard to see and they don’t give warnings. An active trap on a busy road.
State Route 199 Market Street near State Route 9G
Red Hook Village Police trap mostly college kids (from Bard College) coming into the Village or travelling through it on 199 (E and W Market Street). An ideal spot for the white marked Police SUV is at Ludlow St near a corner doctor’s office. Do NOT travel 1 mph over 30 in this village – this is a revenue generator. When I was in court responding to a ticket, there were at least 7 college students for speeding or stop sign violations.
Route 9, Southbound on entry to town
Red Hook PD will sit in the Chiropractor’s Office lot waiting for "speeders" to not slow at the 30 mph sign. They’re always there when the PD is in service.
