Edina, Minnesota Speed Traps
68th & Valleyview .
officer’s squad sits by stop sign in grass on the curb ! Speed Limit 30mph ; while 85th percentile clearly near 40mph . He watches southbound valley view rd. Watch for a guy in Silver unmarked Dodge Charger R/T .
Interlachen Blvd between Blake Rd & Vernon Avenue
Most common spot to find the troops lurking is near the Interlachen Country Club footbridge over the road. On the North side, they can nestle behind some bushes, making it almost impossible for Westbound traffic to spot them. For the Eastbound folks, look a little further East near Mirror Lakes Rd/Rolling Green Parkway.
Hwy. 100 from Interstate 494 to Excelsior Blvd.
I used to drive this everyday to work. There is almost always a cop waiting somewhere along this stretch. Weekends too.
70th Street Between Hwy. 100 and Cahill Road
Speed limit is 30 but most people go 40. Westbound is the worst. Patrols sit on 70th out of sight when you’re making the turn westbound on 70th at the stoplight. Sometimes they’re over the hill near Cahill.
76th Street near Xerxes Avenue
Edina police sit on Xerxes and clock cars going westbound on 76th. Technically the cars are getting caught in Richfield, but ticketed by Edina police. Xerxes Ave is the border between Edina and Richfield.
