North Hampton, Ohio Speed Traps

Jan. 1 around midnight,(it was like 14 below 0).When I came to the 35 mph sign I had slowed to 35. I continued through town @ 35. About half way through town I saw red lights flashing in my mirror. I pulled over. The cop came over the loud speaker saying “driver stay in the car”. He came up to me and asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I told him that I thought I was going 35, no more than 37. He confirmed that I was going 35. He then said that they had 100′ that was 25 mph (I think they changed it, but I’m not sure, because I haven’t been back). Knowing that I had been had, I just told the officer, “I’ll bet you are proud of every inch of it too, aren’t ya”. Oh yea, after he came up to me the first time, I had a patrol car in the back, one in front, and 2 on my left side. With a town with only a couple of stop signs, and no businesses, how do you think they fund all of those cars and officers?

This speed trap is the entire strech of 41 that flows thru North Hampton. The speed limit is 35 and the police will sit in a few different spots along this strech. One is the barn on the left as you enter town from st. rt. 235 there is also a building right there on the right and as you are leaving town there is barn on the left but when they sit there they are not visible until after you pass the barn b/c of where they park

Policeman sits in his car in a park or in a professional building parking lot on the west side of town. Also sits near a church on the east side of town.
