5th avenue north of 176
No stop signs as you turn east down 5th avenue from 176 – but there is a cop who sits in the parking lot half way down on the right side
Butterfield Road & Jehovah Witness Church
Police sit in church parking lot.
Milwaukee Ave between 176 and the Metra Train tracks.
The speed limit is set at 25mph on a major road like Milwaukee Ave, and the road has steep hills, which make going 25 impossible.. Be careful, there is a cop who sits in a parking lot on the Northeast corner near Milwaukee Ave and 176, and works the 3rd shift on Thursdays. If you break any traffic law (more than 4miles over) he will always give you a ticket, rumor has it, he even gives tickets to his fellow police officers family members.
St. Mary’s Road near Old School Road
Anyone trying to make the illegal right-hand turn onto St. Mary’s from Old School better be very careful. For an average of 3 out of 5 weekdays for the past 6 months, there has been a cop parked in a civilian driveway just waiting for you to try it.

They hide in the Evangelical Free Church parking lot. It’s hard to see them going north because of the hospital burm. The speed limit is 25 and they’ll stop you for 30.
