Morris, Illinois Speed Traps
State Route 47 South near North Street
Squad car sits in the lot running radar at the southbound traffic. They will sit there in the mid morning, late afternoon and early evening. Hard to see them because they sit back far enough and you don’t see the squad until you are right on them. This is the street after going over the overpass. A lot of people speed over the bridge and blow the yellow light at the bottom and get the radar squad a half block later.
Rt. 47 Road near Southmor Road
Just about across from the BP gas station on Rt. 47 & Southmor road is a side street where there ia a small county storage/public works building, they sit back in there and run radar quite frequently.
