Lithopolis, Ohio Speed Traps

There is a stop sign at the end of town that is very easy to miss. I know of one officer who hides in the alley next to it nearly his whole shiFort He will also write you if you don’t use the turn signal as you roll thru the cotroversial stop sign.

This location is between Elder Lane & Smith Road. When driving south on State Route 674 just past Elder Lane Road the speed limit changes from 55 MPH to 45 MPH. After Smith Road it changes back to 55 MPH. This is all in less than a mile long. L1 sets in a drive way east of 674.

Going South on Lithopolis Road speed is posted at 45MPH. Just past the Tri-County Medical Building is a sign saying reduce speed and 1/4 of a mile or less, just past Bye’s IGA / Post Office is a sign saying 25MPH. The Cruiser is sitting just past that sign and in my case pulled out behind me following me as I turned onto anther street which would clearly be 25MPH and I so reduced my speed to the appropiate rate. After a couple more minutes of following me he finally pulled me over and gave me the ticket for 35MPH in a 45MPH zone. This trap is known widely in the area, but I have not lived in the area and was unaware until after this happened. I have gone through Lithopolis many times in the previous few weeks but never noticed the 25MPH sign just the 45 and then the reduce speed signs. I paid the ticket and spoke to the clerk about the situation and the office in total was very relaxed about it.

it is 25 mph throughout the town which is ridiculous…the cops followed me a mile and a half out of town before pullling me over…wrote me a ticket and on the ticket put i was going 39 in a 45…which i was but when he clocked me i was a half a mile behind him and i had made in to the 45 mph…but it was late and he was bored i was written an 80.00 ticket went to mayors court to contest and was told to bad…thats justice for you
