Hartland, Wisconsin Speed Traps

Motorcycle police sitting under tree in shade in the parking lot of the Little Red School House. Speed is 45 on a country road.

Cops will always hide on Capitol Drive & 83, across the street from Pick-n-Save & just West of Hwy 16. They sit on the curve, 10 feet away from the intersection on Capitol & monitor traffic on Hwy 83. About 100 feet before the light, the speed changes from 45mph to 35mph. They will get you.

I live in Summit Lake & take the back way to Hwy 16. I always see cops on Hill Street. The speed limit is 25. They’ll be in an unmarked car, parked in between 2 other cars. I also always see them at the corner of Palmer & Capitol. If you’re coming from Hill street, there is a big curve & the trees/bushes block your view until you come around the curve. It’s easy to speed on that road, but it’s a 25mph zone. As soon as you round that curve, they’ll get you. You won’t even have time to apply the breaks.

Officers pull to the far right side of northbound Merton Av. and monitor southbound traffic. The speed limit makes a sudden change from 35 mph to 25 mph without warnning. Note: at one point as you are traveling southbound, there are two speed limit signs (35 and 25) visable at the same time.

Officers sit on the Merton Ave. overpass at Hwy 16. Officers are able to check both east and west bound traffic with easy access to eastbound Hwy 16.
