River Rouge, Michigan Speed Traps
Shaefer Road South at Rouge High School
A Rouge cop sits in the Rouge High Gym parking lot in front of the information board. The board draws your attention from him if you are coming south on Shaefer under the viaduct heading into town. It’s 25mph but people usually go 35-45mph and you don’t see him until it’s too late. Also Beware of the new Rouge and Ecorse motorcycle patrols they are really hard to spot….
Coolidge (Schaefer) heading south right at the border of the city.
As you enter River Rouge, heading south on Coolidge (Schaefer Road–name changes), the speed drops from 35 MPH to 25 MPH right at the border. There are no signs that warn of reduced speed ahead. By the time you see the 25 MPH sign, the cop is already using his radar gun. He is stationed less than 500 feet from the city limits on the side road next to the viaduct. He gets you right at the point where the speed changes. Instant ticket.
