Southgate, Michigan Speed Traps

The officer sits right next to the shoe store and clocks you. I’ve seen lots of people being pulled over by him in the last few days. He is usually sitting there around 1-5 in the afternoon. You usually can’t see him until you are right on top of him. Speed limit is 35, but people rarely go that slow.

He sits on the side street clocking cars. Tucks in along side buildings so it’s too late by the time you see him.

At the corner of Allen Rd. and Goddard, where the cities of Allen Park, Taylor and Southgate meet, you will see police cars parked in the grocery store parking lot facing the intersection. The reason that they park facing the intersection is so that their camera records everything and you do not stand a chance in court. They are watching the cars that are making a left hand turn from southbound Allen Rd. onto eastbound Goddard Rd. DO NOT GO THROUGH THE LEFT TURN LIGHT IF IT IS YELLOW OR RED – period. The traffic at that light is usually so backed up that when the left arrow turns red, at least 3 more cars will go through the light. The last car through will get pulled over and given a ticket. There are no warnings being given and the ticket is somewhere around $125.

The cops hang out in the school parking lot and wait for you to come by. They don’t care if its even a mile or two over.
