Plainfield, Illinois Speed Traps
127th street and Rte 59 behind book store across from Wal-Mart
I have seen on several occasions an officer parked behind the book store. The speed limit drops from 35 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour right before the shopping entrance. There have been several accidents in this location over the years. He is difficult to see if you are coming from Van Dyke as well if you are coming across Rte 59.
On Grove Rd, 1 mile S of Hy 126, Sits in Church parkng lot
County cop sits in church parking lot. I travel this rd frequently; Grove Road runs north-south between Caton Farm Rd and Hy 126. Church is 3/4-1 mile south of Hy 126.
steiner between route 126 and 143rd
at night you cannot see the cops sitting in the middle of the median because there are no lights
Rte 30 and 127th Street
As you turn onto Rte 30 heading Northwest toward Aurora, there is frequently an officer sitting in the parking lot of the Hometown Furniture store. The squad car hides just behind the building and gets speeders zooming up Rte 30, particularly on weekday mornings around 7 a.m. This is a two-lane, 50 mph road and cars get really aggressive about passing and going over the speed limit.
Lockport St. and Bartlett St.
The police actually stand on the corner of Lockport St. and Bartlett, one or two on each side of Lockport St. with radar and since there is a Stop sign, they also check for seat belts especially now in the warmer weather!
