Arlington Heights Road (multiple locations)

Arlington Heights, IllinoisMay 22, 20020 Comments

There are multiple locations along south Arlington Heights Road that are enforced on a regular basis. 1) (MODERATE RISK) Arlington Heights Road just south of Algonquin Road (62). On a regular basis, a car will sit between the bank building and the abandoned gas station on the southeast corner of the intersection, monitoring northbound traffic. The speed limit on this particular stretch of road is 45, but this is immediately north of the Northwest Tollway exit and also just past a stretch of road where the safe driving speed is well over 55 MPH. From this vantage point they are able to monitor the Algonquin Road and Arlington Heights Road intersection as well as several expressway entrance/exits and northbound traffic for speeders. 2) (MODERATE RISK) Arlington Heights Road between Algonquin Road (62) and Golf Road (58). This area is not generally enforced, but a car has been seen on occasion in the car wash parking lot on the west side of the road. There are also numerous other locations where they could remain hidden if they chose to. This area is particularly easy to speed in as the speed limit drops from 45 to 35 as northbound traffic crosses Algonquin Road. 3) (HIGH RISK) Arlington Heights Road north of Golf Road (58). There are 4 primary locations where enforcement occurs on an almost daily basis. There will almost always be a car sitting with its lights off on Noyes St. east of Arlington Heights Road. Alternately, they will sit in the parking lot of the Northwest Gastroenterologists building, across Noyes from the State of Illinois plow depot, also on the east side of the street. These are dark locations and it is almost impossible to see them until you are right in front of them. Sometimes, they will sit on the streets on the west side of Arlington Heights Road, at times in ADDITION to a car on Noyes, in other words multiple cars in a several block stretch of road. Once you pass a car, do not assume that you are free and clear. As a side note, they do not seem to pull anyone over for anything under 45 MPH, although the speed limit is 35. At any rate, best to watch it here.

Interstate 53

At night, just after going north past the palatine east exit, it curves to the left and usually cops sit on the left-hand shoulder waiting for you to pass and then clock you. You cannot see them because of the curve and escpecially at night.

RT53 at Dundee Rd overpass

Arlington Heights, IllinoisOct 01, 20000 Comments

State & Sheriff police line squad cars up under the Dundee road overpass. We’re talking 2-6 squads lined up in a row picking off drivers. THen regrouping after pulling drivers for their next kill. Rt53 is a smooth 6 lane highway where 75mph can be done safely. Major revenue builder for the local constabulary. Note that tickets generally are pre- printed with 75mph in a 55 with no court date given to contest.
