Brecksville, Ohio Speed Traps

Beware of the area on Rt. 82 (Royalton Rd.), just west of the I-77 ramps to about a mile west to Broadview Rd. Beware especially late night. The cops either hang out in the BP station near the freeway ramps, or are cruising that area of Route 82. The south side of the street (Rt. 82) is Brecksville, the north side Broadview Hts. The double yellow line in the middle of the road is the border for much of that length of Rt. 82. Those two communities have different police departments, but reciprocate on and share many services. They use Ka radar. If they can’t get you for speeding – beware of the speed limit especially going west, drops from 45 to 35, they’ll try to get you for DUI. They will find any excuse to pull you over, a brake or license plate light out, or weaving (one of those things they can say you did even if you didn’t). If you think you will or could get pulled over for anything, avoid that area especially at night. I work evening shift right in that area, and when leaving to get on the freeway to go home, it’s a 50-50 chance on seeing that someone is pulled over. I’ve been pulled over, and so have friends frequently in that area.

Officer sits on the overpass opposite the onramp clocking northbound traffic though his open window. If he clocks you speeding he turns onto the ramp and enters traffic behind you on I-77 to pull you over.

Brecksville will pull anyone over at anytime for any reason… DO NOT go too fast, DO NOT go too slow, NEVER get into a car accident(as anyone who even heard it will get a ticket), and finally DO NOT turn, turn on your blinker, look like you might turn, turn around in a parking lot, use your brights, change the radio station, breathe heavily, pass gas, etc. if an officer of the law is behind you, you WILL get pulled over…
