Troy, Ohio Speed Traps

Cop will park facing the wrong direction on the side of the road next to the on ramp, as drivers cross the bridge heading toward Troy they will be caught speeding. You cannot see the car until you are passing it due to the arc of the bridge & normal sunlight interference. Speed limit is 45, which is reasonable, but most people go at least 55.

When traveling North across the Adams Street Bridge, 2 lanes, approching the 4 way stop, you’ll usually meet a local officer parked in the Hobart Arena parkind lot. They watch not only the stop but the speed. Through the stop the road widens to 4 lanes, but it all maintains the city 25mph limit

SR-571 between I-75 and SR-25A. The West bound lane is 35 MPH going out of town and the East bound lane is 45 MPH coming into town. Only one sign posted West bound after the interstate and it is not visible in the evening with the sun in your eyes. My only speeding ticket since 1984.

When you exit Interstate 75 at exit 69 in Troy and go towards Troy the speed limit is 45mph, when you go about 1 1/2 miles the speed limit drops to 35. The State Highway Patrol are usually parked in the Waco Field lot entrance with their radar gun just beyond this 35 mph sign.. Sometimes it is the local police. They are very active at this location. I am not sure what type of radar they use.

When heading northbound into Troy via 25-A, it is a four lane road with a posted speed limit of 45 mph. Just before you reach the Waco museum on the right the limit becomes 35 mph. Many people continue to drive through this area at 45 mph or faster. The sign is not really noticable and since the road doesn’t change you wouldn’t think the posted speed limit would either. I quite frequently see OSP and Miami Co. Sheriffs sitting in the driveway of the Waco Museum pointing their radar at cars, especially in the morning or afternoons when people are going to and from work. It’s hard to see them because there are some trees and bushes that block your view until you are too close to slow down.
