Park Ridge, Illinois Speed Traps
Devon Avenue near Canfield/Talcott Avenue
Inbetween Talcott and Canfield the speed limit is 30 mph and is a high volume speed trap when they hit it. It’s near impossible not to be going 10 – 15 mph at the least and Park Ridge guys will give you a ticket for just 5 over. They’ll get you going both ways but have seen mostly eastbound traffic pulled over.
Dee Road near High School
Police are running Ka band radar in front of the high school. The last time my detector went off, there was an SUV parked in front of the school. I got a solid 9, so it was definitely police radar. They also park in the lot south of the school and shoot radar. As of 11-25-06 I’ve been getting a lot of hits in Park Ridge in general, so watch your speed.
