Waterloo, Illinois Speed Traps
State Highway 3 near North Market Street
Every single time I drive through Waterloo on State Highway 3 there’s a police cruiser either with someone pulled over or looking for someone to pull over. Be especially careful at the north end of town, where the speed limit drops to 45. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night it is, there will be a policeman watching as you drive through Waterloo.
