Hampshire, Illinois Speed Traps

Enforced at all hours and days. Stretch of Rt. 20 from Harmony Rd, just North of Tollway interchange to Big Timber South of Tollway interchange. Speeds changes from 55 to 45 and back, watch for curves, inclines, hills, and they hide out in parking lots along sides to blend in with other vehicles.

Constant patrol of 4 mile stretch of route 20 that ranges from 1/2 mile west of the truck stop to 3-4 miles east of the truck stop. Police are constantly searching for any and all reasons to pull over cars.

A cruiser will sit about 100 feet south of the highway, parked in the driveway of an outbuilding. He is positioned facing west, where he can radar eastbound traffic as they come over the top of an incline. He can also nab unsuspecting westbound motorists, as his position is concealed by a row of thick trees and bushes, and the motorist will pass his concealed position unaware of his presence.
