Hazel Park, Michigan Speed Traps

The police park in parking lots of area businesses along 9 Mile Road. Most of the stops I see are by cars heading West on 9 Mile after crossing Dequindre. The speed limit changes from 35 to 30 MPH at Dequindre. Be aware.

Westbound 8 Mile between Dequindre and John R. Two cars work together hiding in the small shop parking lots. They clock vehicles coming over top of bridge where 40mph is posted. For a four lane boulevard 50mph is much more appropriate. It’s a constant stream for two patrol cars pulling vehicles over non-stop. They issue "impeding traffic" citations which are no-point tickets but are $150 a pop.

John R is a four lane road that strolls through a school town called Hazel Park from 8 Mile to 10 Mile, just south of I-696. Speed limit here is 30, and although it seems slow for those whom have just exited the freeway, KEEP TO IT! Two officers patrol the street heavily. I work nights at a restaurant facing John R and see between 2-5 people pulled over in an 8 hour period…and that’s just the 1/4 mile stretch that I can see from my window. My fiance got hit here for 34 in a 30. Most drivers do 40-45, but don’t follow suit…it’s not worth it! Lots of tickets!

Hazel Parks favorite money maker. traffic goes from 65 mph and the ramp is posted at 30 mph although the access road is posted at 40 mph Its a total trap!!!! I have beat at ticket on it because the cops go so fast to catch you, although I was doing 40, he almost rear-ended me and the ticket was dismissed because I told the judge I had to go that fast to not be hit be the cops unsafe driving.
