Hoffman Estates, Illinois Speed Traps

Cop sits in the medium of Beverly Rd at the intersection of Rt 72 aiming west. You will be targeted about a half mile west on Rt 72. I was surprised when my detector sounded for laser…too late!

Hoffman estates cops sit anytime day and night on Hassell Road from Barrington Road to the end Of Hassell, Residential, multi dwellings& light industrial, it say’s 30 mph, you better do 30 mph, there tough.

Approx. 1/4 mi. EAST of Roselle rd., almost exactly midpoint between Ela Rd. to west and Roselle rd. to east. There is a gravel rd that leads to a cellular transmitting tower on the south side of 62. If you are travelling EAST on 62 from Ela, hit the hooks. Speed limit is 45 and once you round the turn along the forset preserve you won’t have time to see the little bit of the exposed squad before you’re nailed. I used to clock vehicles at over 70+ on that stretch in the early morning.

2 blocks east of Salem on Bode The cops will hid behind parked cars that you cant see them. Once you crest the hill its too late, you are nailed. Speed limit is 25. Pretty slow for such a long stretch of road.
Beware when the weather gets warm. They have a zero tolerance for seat belt violations. They will actually stand it the middle of the road at the 4 way stop and give you a ticket for no seat belt.
All these cops are in this town are revenue collectors, they are not law enforcement.

Route 72 or Higgins Road is a "hotbed" of speed traps for Hoffman Estates. The traps start from Roselle Road and go as far as the Town of east Dundee. Majority of the traps are right after the speed limit on higgins approaches 40 MPH. Before the 40 MPH Zone, the state used to have 50 has the speed limit, but dropped to 45. Hoffman Estates is sneaky with the use of several unmarked cars going routinely down Governors Lane on a routine basis, but also they like to use a turn-about which is obscur when you approach the Menards Hardware Store near Moonlake. The general rule here is not to speed through this town especially past the 35 MPH Zone. Cars they use are Linocln Continentals, Chevy Caprice, and Impala’s for unmarked. The good old Ford Crown Victoria is the police car of choice, along with SUVs. Best thing to do if your not speeding and have one of these cope behing you is to go two miles below the speed limit or keep pace. They’re not going to nail you for 5 hour. I live in this area and am well aware of a lot of the little games. They basically have nothing better to do!
