Lake Forest, Illinois Speed Traps

Between Rt. 60 and Deerpath Road. Sits in a driveway, speed limit posted is 25 mph and they nail anyone going over.

Police heavily patrol this 35mph street, heading east from US41 and up to Greenbay Road. There are several public roads that they like to sit in, particularly past the bridge on the right side, often sitting back 100 feet or more to really aid in hiding. Do not go over 40 on Westleigh, no local in their right mind does either.

Late at night, when traffic is sparse, there’s often a Lake Forest cop sitting right by the entrance to the water tower driveway (right by the railroad tracks, about near Lake Forest Academy); also be aware that they’re sometimes positioned in the Route 60 median by Brunswick. Basically, be extra careful between I-94 tollway and Waukegan Road.

Heading east on Everett Road, as you go over the Interstate, the speed limit drops from 50 to 35. The patrol car usually sits in the intersection with Conway Farms about 1 block east on the north side of the road.

Squad is parked in the Knauz autopark entrance. Cop gets lined up perfectly with the other cars in the lot so its hard to discern between their car and the rest. They fire into the curve so radar detection is diminished, if you are traveling north and your radar chirps, slow down!
