Newton, Massachusetts Speed Traps

On most weekday evenings there is a police cruiser sitting at the side of the road catching speeders, (posted 25mph) he has a big bald spot and always has somebody pulled over. Be sure to hit the brakes after the DPW yard.

At the bottom of the hill, an officer will be parked on Dedham St checking cars headed towards Brookline St (away from Parker St). Be sure to apply your brakes going down the hill after Greenwood St until you can confirm there is no police presence.

There are often speed traps along the stretch of Beacon Street from Angier school to Route 16, typically checking cars heading East on Beacon because police cars can be more easily concealed on that side of the street.

Police car sits in firehouse driveway only partially visible from the intersection.

I lived on Waltham street for two years, and saw cars pulled over outside my window every night… they usually get you when you’re traveling south, toward Rt. 16, as the limit in that direction is only 25mph, though I’ve seen cruisers parked facing the other way.
