Oakdale, Minnesota Speed Traps
Interstate 694 near State Highway 5
There are frequent donut fund-raisers on the stretch of 694 between HWY 5 and HWY 36. There is a State Patrol HQ just off of Hwy 5, and this means it is easy to saturate the area with multiple squads and airplane support. Groups of speeding cars will be pulled over in groups, with all cars receiving citations (my wife got one). On a different occasion, I personally witnessed a saturation of squad cars on this stretch of 694 from many jurisdictions [Stillwater, Forest Lake, Oakdale, Woodbury, + State Troopers].
Interstate I-694 near US Highway 5
State Patrol in the median. Grass in the summer is high enough for good camouflage.
Hadley Road near Menards Parking lot
They sit in the parking lot of the Menards on hadley, by HWY 5 the speed limits like 30 there and ive been pulled over and tickets a couple times for not much over that…in the summer they will also have a big speed trap set up on that small just passed the RR track going away from menards and have one cop in some guys yard taggin people and radioing back to like 4 dif squads flaggin people to pull into onto this side road where they ticket everyone (found this one out 3 days after i first got my DL)
Hadley Avenue near Fire Station
They sit in the parking lot of the new oakdale firestation, the one on Hadley ave sorta by hwy 36, where that tennis/golf dome is…the speed limit is 45 there, and really, most people go 35 there for osme reason, and it sucks cuz when your goin 45 and everyone else is going 35, to the cop, it looks like your speeding…ive never seen anyone pulled over around there,and i drive past it everyday, but just a heads a up
Helmo Road by Food and Fuel Gas Station
Oakdale police officers like to sit down on Helmo Road where the speed limit is "30 MPH" and has "Radar enforced" signs all over it, even though the speed limit is very slow and should be at least 45. The cops will hide on all off the off streets a ways down so when you pass them your radar detector goes on after its too late. No visible signs of them show except sometimes when they sit at the stop signs and you can slow down, then 2 minutes later they realize you pass and hit you with the K band radar.
