US Highway 322
I don’t recall ever driving thru Orwell without seeing a cruiser. Nearly everyone automatically slows when the limit signs appear so I have no idea what they use to catch people. This has been in effect as long as I’ve been travelling 322 – 40 years or so.
US 322 & OH 45. Outskirts of town North, South, East, West
Ashtabula County’s answer to Lindale, Orwell uses its police force for revenue raising. They hide near the outskirts of town to nab traffic as it speeds up after going through town or before it slows down to go through town. Out-of-towners passing through are favorite targets. This trap has been noted by AAA and RADAR.
