Hawley, Minnesota Speed Traps

Cop car will sit blended in with tractor’s parked on the south side of hwy 10, across from the Ford dealership on west side

Approaching Hawley from the East there is usually a marked police car sitting in the median facing East and running radar near the railroad overpass. Easy to pick off speeders both coming into town, and those accelerating back up to highway speed heading out of the city.

East of river, right hand side of the road. They like to park on the other side of the pine trees by the Golf cource and by the Rodeo grounds. Or on the west side of town right hand side of the road by the new carwash.

City officers park in the median of the highway in front of the guard railing that surrounds the open portion of the river bridge, effectively hiding the squad car from normal view at night. Hawley cops do not hesitate to write any speed over 10 over the posted 45 mph.
