Cortland, Ohio Speed Traps
Going south on Old state Rt. 5 out of Cortland
A Cortland officer will sit across from Service Guide by those piles of slag
Traveling on east main street near rt. 11 overpass.
The speed drops suddenly to 35MPH after topping the rt. 11 overpass; on the other side of the street there is a sign still posted as 45 MPH.
St. Rt 5 north of cortland
Officer sits in Library parking lot watching both directions.
I successfully beat a speeding ticket at this site as it was impossible for the car to have obtained the stated MPH in the distance from the light. Cortland is very bad all over the city limits. Be careful!
S Colonial Dr
All of S Colonial is 25 MPH – should be 35. The local yocals sit on the side streets and catch you driving “tto fast.” I once got stopped for going 28!! I was laughing too hard and he let me go with a warning. Another time I got stopped for doing 30!! The judge threw it our – said it was ridiculous!
