Woodville, Ohio Speed Traps

The fact that a small Woodville restaurant boasts the name Speed Trap Diner in no mistake. Although the outside patrolling boundaries on the wide four lane US Rte 20 (Fremont Pike), from US Rte 23 on the west and Ground Level Inc (GLI) on the east, covers a distance of 4 miles, the core speed trap lane within the town of Woodville is only 1.2 miles from McDonalds on west to the Speed Trap Diner next to RR tracks on the east. In that short 1.2 miles the speed limit posting changes five (5) times ranging from 55 mph as you enter/exit town to 45, 35, and 25 during normal hours. Two school zones within that stretch add 20 mph zones during posted hours to this obstacle course. Several police vehicles including an SUV, Dodge Avenger and a full sized sedan equip these aggressive officers with the equipment needed to heavily patrol this speed trap.

The cop will set by the rail road or the school.

It is a heavily patrolled area by Woodville police and they often sit in the Ground Level parking lot after hours. Often noted as a drug route thus frequent stops of those who are not locals. Also very strict on speeding. It is a major truck route and known for pulling over for speeding or any other safety violation. Route 20 is currently going through a major widening project which will increase the traffic flow through Woodville. It is the major route between Toledo and Fremont.

Speed limits vary in the area from 55 to 25 mph. Expect enforcement in all areas. Enforcement is, shall we say, overzealous.
