Buffalo Grove, Illinois Speed Traps

Late evenings, Police cars stand in the dark near the old gas pumps on the corner of the closed gas station(Marathon)across from Buffalo Grove high school.

On Thomspon road they enforcement is facing east bound traffic before you get to Buffalo Grove road. Law enforcement is on the north side of the road in a cul-da-sac.

Police cars sit in the turn around infront of the fire station ained at east bound traffic. There is a cover of bushes and a bank next door so seeing the vehicle there does not happen until after you’ve been painted. This is a nightly routine usually between 6pm-10pm then the whole stretch of Dundee between Buffalo Grove Rd. & Arlington Heights rd. becomes fair game as a patrol car continuously covers up and down the three mile stretch of road till dawn.

There’s a relatively new stop sign at the corner of Thompson and Hidden Lake. The traffic cop has been seen parked down Hidden Lake waiting to tag anyone who doesn’t stop long enough at the stop sign. Make sure you come to a full stop and wait a second or two before proceeding.

Traffic cop sits on one of the cul-de-sacs knowing people speed down Thompson between Weiland and Buffalo Grove Roads. He or she tags one right after the other, so people are foolish to speed going down that street. Even the added stop signs have not done much in slowing people down. I KNOW, I live there!
