East Troy, Wisconsin Speed Traps

The cop tucks himself along the tree line between the BP gas station located on the corner of ES & Hwy 20 and the East Troy fire department on Hwy. ES. The speed limit is 35 mph from the stop and go light/intersection of ES & Hwy. 20 until you get to St. Peters Rd. going North on ES then it’s 45 mph until you get to the Elegant Farmer. Cops also sit on the east side of the road just past the Elegant Farmer/Hwy. J in the 35 mph zone. Cops ticket both directions in the 35 mph zone(s).

Town cop sits hidden on end of gravel drive on north side of road — unseen by traffic heading east, and hidden by curve in road from traffic heading west.

Location is a favorite late at night because it allows dual purpose of obtaining easy citation revenues from people going slightly over the low posted speed, AND for identifying DWI drivers due to the proximity to several area bars.

The speed trap is for eastbound or westbound travelers on Hwy 20 going through the village of East Troy. The speed limit changes from 45 to 35 to 30 from the east and from 55 to 45 to 30 from the west. The police sit on side streets or are tucked up on the side of the road. They like to catch you in the 30/35 mph zones! You generally cannot see them until you are passing them.

This trap begins after the last stop sign on 120 heading into East Troy from Lake Geneva (Shavers gas station) limit is 45 all the way and they sit all along the route both sides. watch your hills. coming into the town of East troy, they sit just around the bend behind the bridge where the limit is 25. Its on a downhill so you actually have to apply braking to comply.

Going northbound on I43, at the east end of the Hwy 120 bridge, right side of road as you drive, they sit tucked in at the end of the bridge and shoot radar at the cars coming over. The bridge and the slight incline before the bridge, makes the car hard to see until the last second.
