Huntley, Illinois Speed Traps

Officer sits on George Bush Ct (essentially a dead-end driveway leading to the parking lot of Rohrer Corporation) where it intersects with Jim Dahmer Drive. He basically hides behind the shrubbery at the edge of the company parking lot. Sometimes they will also park in the median strip of Jim Dahmer Drive near the entrance to Rohrer, facing east. Often there on Wednesday mornings, seldom in the evenings. Dahmer Drive was recently extended to connect with the back end of the Sun City subdivision. The street currently has only 2 businesses on it–no parks, schools, playgrounds, or pedestrian traffic of any kind. Most of it is empty land until you reach the edge of Sun City. No reason I can see for the low speed limit except a speed trap. None of the locals will use it because of that. The sad part is most drivers avoid using Dahmer Dr. by turning down Country View (which parallels Dahmer) and going right through Sun City, exiting at the main entrance on 47. Gee, just what Sun City residents want–more traffic through their subdivision. If the logic on this one escapes you, you’re not alone.

Eastbound Main St from Rt. 47 to Haligus, crawls at 20 mph through the square. Westbound Main St from Rt. 47, changes from 30 to 55 w/out increment (does the same on the way back into town). Major enforcement for speed and anything else they can get you on.

Police car sits by the first intersection west of the intersection of Farm Hill and Spring Creek. Sometimes the car in on Spring Creek and sometimes it’s hidden on the side street. The car also might be sitting on Golf View which is the next side street west. Looking for speeders on Spring Creek.

Police will sit inside the first subdivision after crossing the city limit sign going westbound. from there they radar from behind the bushes. speed limit gets reduced from 55 MPH to 35 MPH and it is enforced regularly.

Officers will sit over the hill leaving town and radar you right as you leave the town limit right past the entrance to the High school. Especially at night when visibility is low. Almost always present in the last 3-5 days of the month at night.
