Acworth, Georgia Speed Traps

Actually two sites on Wade Green, being the median just north of the Hollywood Video store and in between the cars for sale at the north end just before hwy. 92. Mostly at the end of the month or the first few days of the month.

At the intersection one traffic light north of the intersection with Highway 92, a Cobb County police officer sits parked between the traffic lanes and left turn lane of the southbound side of the highway on the opposite side of the intersection. It appears he is waiting for the light to change or make a turn, but as you pass by, you will see his radar gun in hand. The posted speed limit in this area is 55mph, but traffic moves on average anywhere between 60-70mph. Beware and stay alert, common sense will help you more than anything.

A motorcycle police officer will sit parked on the sidewalk at the bottom of a sweeping hill right before the actual residences in the neighborhood. As you come around the turn, it is difficult to slow to the posted limit of 25mph and at times seems ungodly slow. Regardless the Cobb County officers will sit there in the morning waiting for students on their way to school, or in the evening waiting for people returning from work. They will not pull you over for 30-35mph, but do be careful as anything above that is fair game.

Motorcycle cops, usually two or three, wait on the sidewalk 100 yards north of Charlie’s II store with laser guns pointed at northbound traffic as drivers travel down a hill and around a corner toward Hwy. 92.

Under bridge just south of the Wade Green Rd. exit catching southbound commuters.
