Old Orchard Beach, Maine Speed Traps
The entire length of Smith Wheel Road
From Saco Ave, curling around and ending at the Police Station, the posted speed limit is 25 MPH. Cops sit in the municipal works driveway all the time and get you from either direction.
Off spur from OOB/Saco exit heading into OOB
Speed limit goes from 55 to 30 from the spur after you go thru the toll at exit 36, keep going toward OOB. When the highway road is ending and becoming rt 5&9 or Saco Ave, the police are always parked to the right in the camp ground parking lot with their lights off and stopping people there all the time. Plus on what is called the spur between the exit and the Saco downtown exit the Saco and State cops sit there alot.
On Saco Ave just by Captains Galley Restaurant on right.
The OOB police sit in CHAZ’S parking lot or across the street in St. Lukes parking lot with lights off waiting for people speeding mostly at night and sometimes during the day. I see them there every night at one time or another just sitting there doing paperwork or chatting with another police car parked next to him. Both with lights off. So be very careful there and also about 500 feet furthure up past Marcotte Motors, they sit in the funeral parlor parking lot behind the building and they will stop anyone going over 25.
