Oxford, New York Speed Traps

ALL of Oxford is a speed trap! The cop sits everywhere. Back roads, rt 12, rt 32 and 35. It is one of the worst towns in Chenango County for speed traps. I have a shirt from the now defunct Night Eagle Cafe, that has on the back of it, ‘remember to drive 30 mph, until u get out of the villagenxrn.’ The local Oxford cops are worse than the state cops. More sarcastic too! I received a ticket on rt 32, and the cop was going in the opposite direction? Four other cars passed me, but I got a ticket? I live in the next town south of Oxford, but most people say Oxford is notorious for giving out speeding tix. It will get worse, now that people are out of work, and the towns need more money.

Village Speed Limit of 30mph is continued for an unreasonably long distance outside the village along State Highway 12. South of the village of Oxford especially, there is a stretch of Hwy 12 that stays 30mph well outside the village – for no apparent reason other than revenue enhancement. Traffic expects to speed up to 40 or 50 after the village traffic lights, but the speed limit continues to be 30. Many people get caught by the local village police.

North of the Village, police cars hide in the gas station along a curved section of Hwy 12 just north of the village traffic light. South of the village, police cars hide among commercial vehicles and driveways on the west side of Hwy 12.
