Methuen, Massachusetts Speed Traps

Periodically there will be a cruiser parked just in the entrance of Haroun Lane off of Hampstead St. Here the speed limit changes from 40 to 35 while traveling north bound and some drivers don’t realize until it is too late.

Sometimes in the mornings between 7am and 10am, a cruiser is parked in front of the fire department at the corner of Howe and Hampstead. There is a stop sign here so the likely reason is to catch drivers performing a “rolling stop" or speeders going down Howe."

The radar is unknown and is before the cruiser, he stops you on the corner of Burnham and River Road and tells you how much over the limit you went, but this is a down hill so your car will go faster without hitting the gas.

By the parking lot next to Dunkin’ Donuts. Officers are usually marked cruiser or an unmarked all black Ford Explorer. Cars often pulled over under the 93 over pass. They are watching for cars coming to a "rolling stop" at the end of the on ramps onto Pelham st.

Cruiser(s) sits in parking lot beside Spicket River far enough back that you cannot see it until it’s too late
