Pelican Rapids, Minnesota Speed Traps

The patrol car, with radar gun, parks by a turkey processing plant just as the limit drops to 30 MPH, southbound into Pelican Rapids on US Highway 59. It’s generally lightly traveled, so it’s very likely you’ll still be decelerating from Highway speed, and get caught by the radar.

When coming into town you’re heading up a hill that goes from 55 at the bottom to 30 at the top. Or if you’re going out of town it starts at 30 and is 55 at the top of the hill. Cops have enjoyed sitting at the top watching people pick up speed to be doing 55 come the top of that hill.
