Greenwood, Indiana Speed Traps

Turning off of Smith Valley Road onto Honeycreek Road (in between the Barrington East and West neighborhoods) A cop sits in the entrance to the new neighborhood, with only one house in it, after Alden Place. The speed limit used to be 45 and now that they have built new neighborhoods all on that road they changed it to 30 which is ridiculous!

This is a favorite of the Greenwood PD. Going north from Stop 18 to Smith Valley Road the speed limit goes from 40 to 30 in an instant. They love to hide in the neigborhood, apartment complex, and business entrances up towards Smith Valley where it changes to 30. I travel that road at least 3 times a week and I see a cop with a trap set up about 65% of the time. It’s easy fishing. The trick on that road is that there are several 40mph signs between Stop 18 and Smith Valley. By the time you hit the 30mph sign, you kind of tune out the repetative speed limit signs. Then bang they got you doing 40 in a 30.

Now that the speed trap on Sheek Road is common knowledge, they have moved to Stop 18 between Sheek Road and US 31. Speed limit there is a painfully slow 30mph. The road is straight as an arrow so holding it a 30 is hard to do. They had a soccer mom pulled over just past the rairoad tracks the other day.

i see them around the golf course and on the side streets everyday. speed limit is 35.

I have seen as many as three Greenwood Police cars up and down the strip from Main street to Stop 18. This is only a stretch of about 1 mile. One stands on the other side of the hill and clocks people, then just blows a whistle and directs them to the side of the road to ticket them. I have seen them spread out along the road and pulling people over from each direction.
