Groton, Connecticut Speed Traps
State Route 1 near Groton Long Point Road
Police car in driveway in front of tower. Right after the 215 intersection if you’re heading north. Hidden by trees so you can’t see them until its too late.
State Route 12 near Cardinal Honda
Groton Town police park in the grass next to Cardinal Honda (car dealership) and clock people traveling southbound. Posted limit is 40, traffic usually muves 50+.
State Route 349 near EB/Pfizer
Groton City police have several speed traps south of Eastern Point Road between EB and Pfizer. Also further up the street on Thames St, just after the bend from Bridge St alongside Groton Oil Co. & Marina. Speed Limit is 25 along the entire stretch of Eastern Point Rd and Thames St. Completely ridiculous on the recently renovated stretch of Eastern Point Road. Specifically targeting Pfizer employees between Poquonnock and Benham Roads on Eastern Point Rd.
Bridge Street near Bridge over railroad tracks
Police park just over the bridge that goes over railroad tracks off road, on grass hard to see. Speed limit is 25MPH which is ridiculous. Will stop for going 30MPH which has made the road a money maker for Groton City. The police are there anytime but more prevalent during PM rush hour.
I-95 N/B at the Gold Star Bridge
Connecticut State Troopers are constantly on the Groton side of the Gold Star Bridge in all types of different cars. Primaraly unmarked Crown vics with hideaways, also camaro’s and a Blue Astro Van totaly unmarked. They use Radar, Laser, and also clocking. Beware this is a 55MPH Zone and if you pass a Trooper going over the Bridge at over 55mph he will stop you!!! Even if off duty with family in the car!!!
