Mchenry, Illinois Speed Traps

North bound traffic descends a hill, gradually picking up speed before encountering the 25 mph school zone speed limit sign near the bottom of the incline. Green Street is a north/south primary access route through town and law enforcement vehicles frequent the area during school arrival and dismissal times.

Both the city of McHenry and McHenry County Sheriff now likes to set up speed traps between Chapel Hill Rd. and The Fox river.

Driveway of what appears to be an abandoned house on the west side of Curran, about a quarter mile north of Bull Valley Rd.

Draper Rd. appears to be a wide, relatively straight, very lightly populated road that should have a 50 mph speed limit rather than the 35 mph posted on small signs. Officer will hide in one of the few private driveways.

They lowered the speed limit on this road, even though it’s rural with practically no houses. They will write you a ticket if you’re even 1 mph over the limit. Actually, the whole of McHenry is a speed trap!
