Buchtel, Ohio Speed Traps
Through Out The Village
The Cop There Will Get You One Way Or Another
not sure name…main one through town though Street
Just there is usually a police officer waiting somewhere hidden on the side of the road waiting…to catch people..
SR 78 about 3 miles from US 33
Usually right around dusk to after dark. A cruiser, often with a State Police cruiser, waits at one end of town to catch anyone going more than 35 MPH OR less than 30 MPH! The rat especially targets women driving alone; I guess they figure women can’t fight back… But one time, my husband and I were stopped for "going too slow and weaving!" At the time I was stopped, the village of Buchtel was trying to raise money for a new bridge for a short, dead-end township road.
St. Rt. 78
State Route 78, the only notable thoroughfare, is routinely and heavily enforced through its 1.5 miles through Buchtel. It’s highly advisable to slow down at the county line on the east side of town and do not resume a 50-mph posted speed until reaching the Nelsonville city limits.
