Peninsula, Ohio Speed Traps

Village of Peninsula police car is nearly always sitting on a private drive West of Riverview Rd near 2420 Main St. The speed limit in this area of Rt 303 varies between posted limits of 25, 30, 40, and 45 MPH over a 1.5 mile stretch westbound from the center of Peninsula.

Just east and downhill from the traffic light at Riverview Road, police often park ON the railroad crossing for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, since it only runs during the day.

Going south on Riverview Rd. after passing Major Rd. on the right and the Quarry Lock on the left. Riverview Rd. winds through the trees and down a slight hill. The road straightens and flattens out ahead along the tracks, but, the trap is on the west side of the road getting the traffic in either direction.

Exit off of Interstate 271 East bound Rt 303 Left on Stine Rd speed limit 40 then as you go down steep hill quickly becomes 25 for a short distance then 35.

After exiting from 271 North, heading east the speed limit is 40 mph. Steep hill is winding down into Peninsula. In order to stay at or below the speed limit, you must apply your brake. 2 miles over the speed limit was all it too to get a $125 ticket. No mercy.
