Wauconda, Illinois Speed Traps

Going north on Route 59, there is an auto repair shop called Leicht on the left side, across from Ivanhoe Road. He sits on an outer drive in the parking lot, consistently facing different directions. The speed limit goes from 50 down to 35 as you approach the bridge that goes over Route 12. He is there every day, all times of day or night.
Main Street near State Highway 176 – Liberty
Police car sits in the American Legion parking lot – semi-obstructed view. I didn’t get busted at this one as a kind driver coming from the opposite direction gave me a flash to let me know. Speed limit gradually eases up to 45 when travelling out of downtown Wauconda, but if you speed up that 4 blks too soon – ticket.
