Plymouth, Michigan Speed Traps

Police will sit on a side street on either the East or West side of Beck Road. They are in either a fully marked patrol car or an unmarked white crown victoria. They use laser and radar. The speed limit is 40 MPH and they are known to stop for as little as 10-12 over. They justify this abuse of power by claiming that the street is lined with houses. Also, where they sit is just over the crest of a hill for northbound traffic. by the time you see them, they have got you. From what i’ve heard, they rarely give breaks. This spot is primarily worked by the local cops.

Both Plymouth City and Plymouth Township Police as well as the Wayne County Sheriff Department, **STRICTLY** enforce speeding throughout the entire Plymouth area. Police will typically stop for 14-15 over, but it is not uncommon to get stopped and written for as little as 10 over. Plymouth Township uses LASER speed detection in addition to RADAR, which can pinpoint a single vehicle out of a large group of traffic. My advice: Dont speed in Plymouth. And if you get pulled over by the county, they have "unofficial" quotas, so you arent getting a break.

Troopers are either located behind overpasses or motorcycles have been in median with laser. Speed limit is 65.

State, County, and Local Police sit in the median, on and under overpasses. West bound drivers- look for parked vehicles on the Beck Rd. overpass and vehicles parked in the median just beyond (Its all downhill- very easy to speed).

Police often patrol these 4 lanes of Sheldon Rd. The speed limit is 40 MPH but the average speed is between 40 and 55 MPH. They especially patrol the area around Ann Arbor Tr because there is an elementary school and a middle school, so during the hours of school transportation, the speed limit is 25 MPH, and they will catch anyone going slightly over.
