Germantown Hills, Illinois Speed Traps

Turning north from a 50 mph speed divided highway to a road that looks like a typical 30 mph road. But it’s marked 20 mph if you happen to see the sign in an odd location high on a telephone pole far from the road just as you turn. Especially at night it’s very hard to spot for anyone not familiar with the road. Then just as you travel 50 yards the road looks like a typical rural road built for 45 mph, which it is in about a mile. But as you accelerate downhill you finally see a normal 20 mph road sign. That’s where the Sherriff of woodford county deputy is waiting for you. Now you are going maybe 45 in a 20 mph, a big problem and a big ticket with court costs. Gotcha! If they cared at at about really going 20 mph it would be marked with a flasher or at least a yellow 20 ahead marker. Just a speed trap known well by those who live in the area.
