Hopkinton, New Hampshire Speed Traps

The State and Hopkinton Police set up Ka and Laser radar in the median crossover just south of exit 6. They tuck in making them diffficult to see. Hundreds of tickets written from this spot each and every month

Speed Limit is 30, the police car is usually well hidden between Old Holmes Rd and Stumpfield Rd.

Interstate 89 North exits on to Route 202&9 west. The speed limit in this section is 40MPH. As you travel west and round the curve about to enter the 50 zone the Hopkinton and State Police sit on the side of the road running Ka band and laser radar. You cannot see them until you round the bend and are still in the 40 zone. This saection of road is built for speeds of 65 so most cars are going 55-65 since they just exited the Interstate. The police write 60-70 tickets a day with the average fine of $168.00

About a 1/2 mile or so from the intersection of Routes 13 & 77 (Clinton Street) on Jewett Road just over the Hopkinton townline from Dunbarton are two areas; one on each side of the road that allow the police to stay hidden until you’re right on top of them. The police are there at all times of the day, but since I travel this route daily I’ve noticed that they’re frequently there during the morning and afternoon commute.

Effective June 26, 2006, speed from Exit 5 off I-89 to State route 114 along US 202 & State Route 9 has been reduced from 55 MPH to 50 MPH. Heavier than normal radar by Hopkinton and State Police have been noted, as well as Henniker Police.
