Brookfield, Illinois Speed Traps
31st Street west of First Avenue, by the Brookfield Zoo
Brookfield police post in the Forest Preserve parking lot down the street from the zoo entrance. The limit drops from 35 to 30, making it easier for the village to supplement local ticket revenue. They do issue tickets, to residents and passers-through. See how the zoo produces revenue for the village?!?
Ogden Ave and East Ave
At the Bottom of the overhead bridge going North on Ogden is a car wash, within that parking lot on the Soth sits a squad. If you speed up tp make the traffic light on the bottom of the overpass on East Ave you get the Officer’s autograph.
47th Street Between East Ave and 1st Ave
Police stake out all along 47th St in Business parking lots and side street on the North Side of 47th St Only. South side of 47th is heavily staked out by McCook Police giving tickets daily. These 2 police departments love to share the "wealth"!
They will even pull you over for "no seat belt" on a slow day or weekend morning!
Prairie Avenue near Ogden Avenue
Anytime during the day, there is a car or SUV parked along Prairie Ave, between Shields & Ogden Avenues, ready to grab anyone whom they feel jumped stop sign or speeding down the street even 1 mile over the posted limit.
Ogden Avenue near Maple Avenue
Between Maple and East Avenues a cop car sits on the south side of the street. This area has numerous businesses that send out radar signatures, so if you have a detector, it is easy to get confused.
