Oakwood Hills, Illinois Speed Traps

Rawson Bridge Road stop sign just before you turn right to continue on Rawson, to your left up Woodland Road is a cop sitting to see if you stop or not. Also watches for those coming South on Rawson and if you stop at Hickory Road stop sign and those on Hickory Road, if you stop at the sign also.

Another one is just coming south on Rawson past the Golf Course area after you have gone over the bridge and then again after the Golf Course Area at Valley Drive when 40 becomes 30 real fast and he sits there to catch you.

Over the hill as you you drive East, or at the hill after the stop sign. Always there, weekends, after work, late nights.

From Crystal Lake road east to Rawson Bridge the police sit in private drives and on the two side streets. This is only a two mile stretch of road but tickets are issued daily.

Prairie Grove Police and Oakwood Hills police will park off the road near the electric high tension wires and traps cars going north on Valley View road towards Route 176. I think the speed limit is 40mph, they will get you for doing 5 over. They like to sit and get people during rush hours in the am and pm. Watch for them before they get ya.

Residential area, speed limit is 25mph. When you turn on to Brittany Road going north from Rawson Bridge Road you go up a hill. At either the intersection of Bordeaux or Bernay there is a stop sign on the right. Since you are going up hill it catches you by surprise, and late at night it is easy to go right thru the stop sign if you don’t know it’s there. Be careful officer friendly will ticket you. You don’t expect a stop sign at that location. The locals are aware of it, but for the occasional driver in the area it will get you a ticket if the police are around!
