Granville, Ohio Speed Traps
Rt 16 prior to 161
4 Lane Highway is a 55MPH, got pulled over for a 72, could see the sign where the limit goes up to 70 while pulled over. Money hungry
Newark-Granville Rd. Between Saint Edwards and downtown
Speed set artificially low. I have gotten 3 tickets in that area.
James Road down the hill in the Church parking Lot!
Very unfair spot. Two big hills with the trap in the Church parking lot in the valley of the hills…..45 mph, but your car coasts about 50 mph! So you have to brake all the way down from both directions! I’ve gotten 2 tickets in the same spot and I know the trap is there! I was guilty , but I told the judge it was an unfair spot! He sort of laughed!
Red Lights
Be very careful about right on red. Downtown and at Cherry Valley & I-16,, right on red is restricted during daytime hours. it is clearly posted, but if you’re not looking for it….
They give tickets even when there is no conceivable reason for not making the turn. I learned the hard way.
Welsh Hills Road near Corporation Limit
As you are heading into Granville from the North, there is little warning that the speed limit drops from 45 to 35. The officers wait just over the hill or in a driveway shielded by trees on the leFort They are often by the line where you leave the township and enter the village.
