Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota Speed Traps

most of the time motor cycle cops sit on a city right of way leading to 3-4 driveways on the west side of the road just north of hwy 55, they are sheilded by trees and very hard to spot unless looking right at them. if coming from the north you can’t spot them until you crest the hill and its too late. speed limit is 50..

A speed change from 45 mph to 35 mph at the bottom of a hill.

State troopers and Inver Grove police wait for speeders on 494 under the overpasses between 35E and Robert Street, about a 4 mile stretch. If the weather is good you can always count on seeing at least one police car parked and waiting for an easy donation. This is by far the most notorious and predictable speed trap area in the southeast metro area. Those of us who commute this stretch of 494 regularly will automatically apply the brakes before reaching the overpasses. The police however always manage to nab enough unexpected to keep the revenue coming in. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. Where do I apply?

One is by simely highschool, they sit right over hill as you are coming east of hwy 52, the other is by the curvy roads by mcdonalds on 80ths street and you come around that curve they sit there waiting for unexpected drivers.

Local officers sit along side Babcock Trail just south of 494.
