Farmington Hills, Michigan Speed Traps

Police regularly sit off to the side in the shadows beneath the 696 overpass on Inkster Road (between 11 & 12 Mile Roads). They are difficult, if not impossible to see before it is too late as you come to the bottom of the hill.

Sit and wait for people coming out of Drakeshire lanes and pull people over for DUI.

M-5 heading east, drops to 45mph from 70mph, as the highway ends, and comes to your first light. To your right, the first few machanic shops, allow the police to park behind truck trailers. As the highway ends, onto main road, 2-3 officers sit, and clock your speed.

On the Signal Light Post at the Intersection. Farmington Hills Police have a Photo Radar on Both Sides and will take pictures for people who speed thru the intersection or makes a turn on a Red Light. (No Turn on Red Posted)

Speed drops because there are two schools nearby and it’s difficult to tell when you are in a school zone. It’s also time dependent. I was pulled over in the middle of the day because although I was only doing 35 it was over the limit of 25 for a school and it was time to dismiss kindergarten. They just sit on the side of the road waiting for speeders who don’t know they are in a school zone.
