Kalamazoo, Michigan Speed Traps
Sage Street near West Main Street
When you are traveling south down Sage, just before you reach Stonebrooke, there is an officer waiting in a small drive with his gun pointing right at you. Speed limit is 25 but it is very easy to speed up to get through the shortcut from West Main to Drake.
Park Avenue near Wall Street
Police park at the top of the hill and turn their radar on motorist’s who are speeding up the three lane, one-way street.
Oliver Street near WMU
The cop hides on the North side of the street between Stadium and Oakland in one of the driveways going to the Basball field. This hill has a SL of 25 mph, which is almost impossible to maintain on this hill. I’ve been stopped twice there in Summer of 07.
Cork Street near Portage Road
The speed limit changes and people aren’t watching so as soon as it changes the police are right there to pull you over. The 30mph speed limit is hard to keep at so people are usually going around 40mph
Nichols Street near New Day Church
Officer sits in New Day Church parking lot behind brush to catch speeders–usually those coming from the north where speed limit is 55 mph and changes to 35 mph. I have seen the car there at least one time a month…
