Cleveland Heights, Ohio Speed Traps

Coming up Silsby from Lee rd if your speeding up the small hill you will definitely see a cop facing the same the direction as you at the stop sign doing radar. Its unbelievable. They got me, but let me go b/c I have a CDL, no bs. He told me neighbors had been complaining about cars speeding, go figure.

Observed the week of July 7, 2008: One or two police officers can be found between 8 am and 8:30 am siting either in their police cruisers with radar guns pointed towards traffic headed West towards Case Western on Mayfield, or they will sit in a parking lot right at the corner of Eddington or Belmar off of Mayfield.

At the intersection of Mayfield and Yellowstone there is a church and, across the street, a parochial school parking lot. The officers sit in the parking lots of each on Yellowstone and can trap drivers going east or west on Mayfield and north or south on Yellowstone.

Westbound on Fairmount at Fairfax Road. Often on weekends. Officers park on Fairfax unseen from Farimount Blvd.

The police car sits facing oncoming traffic as it heads west into downtown Cleveland. They sit in one of the crossovers as this is a street that is 2 lanes both ways, but divided by a wide grassy center strip. I got caught heading to the hospital to see my dying father going 42 in a 35 in the middle of the morning, crying as I drove. Policeman had no sympathy, ticket cost over $100.00, he didn’t believe me and I was very tempted to send him a copy of dad’s death notice the following week. It was my first ticket in 25 yrs of driving.
