Morton Grove, Illinois Speed Traps
8000 block of Austin Ave
Cop sits in between office and industrial buildings where the speed limit is 25 mph
Beckwith (South Side), a few hundred yards west of Austin,
The car waits, well-concealed, just east of the bridge over the Noth Branch of the Chicago River, next to the forest preserve. The posted speed is 30 MPH, but the road is usually fast-moving and it is easy to let the accelerator slip.
Lyons Street near Shermer Avenue
Just north east of shermer on a side street kiddy corner from lyons
Austin Avenue near Lincoln Avenue
The speed limit is 25MPH between Oakton St. and Lincoln Ave. There are factories and businesses along the majority of Austin Ave., However because of a Park and residential neighborhood with lots of kids, the cops watch this street closely. They hide everywhere, in the businesses’ lots, side streets, everywhere! I live very close and at least 2-3 times a week I witness someone getting a ticket. So slow down if on Austin Ave.
Central Avenue near Dempster Street
They sit there constantly with radar on both the east and west sides of the street. They’re traps north of Church street as well as South to Dempster. They’re vicious and only care about revenue coming in. If you get pulled over most likely they’ll find something else they can write you up on.
