Clayton, Ohio Speed Traps

Ohio Highway Patrol cars will sit over in Ward Field Park with just their parking lights on. They wait for cars traveling north on Hoke road to cross over the I-70 overpass and come down the hill. Because of all the traffic lights and street lights at the Smith Drive intersection, motorists never see the patrol car sitting in the park, especially after dark. The speed limit is 35mph and cars will get going a lot faster than that coming down the hill. Turning left into the Walmart or right onto Smith Drive will not save you either. Also, they will get you for making a right turn on red from the I-70 off ramp. They get a lot of truckers doing that one. The Highway Patrol can get you within the City of Clayton where Hoke Road physically crosses over I-70 because you are in their jurisdiction.

They hide behind bushes on the roadside just north of westbrook road. I kept on driving the last time they tried to stop me and they turned off there lights after a little while. Just do not stop and you will get out of the ticket:-)

These hick town cops hide next to the creek and behind the trees and clock traffic both ways. They only have a small stretch of roadway near the housing development and the speed limit drops to 35 MPH there. Beware, they will come out of hiding and cite you for reasonable speeds given the area. They need money to build up their town cause they have no tax base. My guess is that they wont show proficiency in court. If they clock you outside their part of the roadway, you could beat the ticket. Beware these small town cops.
