Cleveland, Ohio Speed Traps
271 Bypass near From 71 to 90 North
The speed limit is 60, which is below normal speed for that type of highway. On a recent trip 3/06 coming from the 90 going to 71 south and then coming back from 71 to 90 north, there were 3 traps going south and when we came back we counted at least 6 stops on either side. There were three different types of vehicles (police involved). Since we make that trip once a month and it always has traps on it, it should be noted as a hot spot.
Chester Avenue near East 71st Street
Speed and red light violations are caught on cameras for both east and west bound traffic.
Interstate 90-West near Exit Number MLK Blvd Exit
As you come around the bend just before the MLK exit on westbound I-90, you will almost always see a cop shooting with his radar gun. Coming back into Cleveland last night with colleagues at about 10pm, we wondered if it was a "dummy" cop, because he’s always there, and always in the same position, same location. I think the limit is 60 or 65 there. Never been stopped there, but it’s a good trap. Slow down about a half mile before the MLK exit and you’ll be ok.
