Cambridge, Ontario Speed Traps
Townline Road near Kerwood Avenue
The police sit on Kerwood and hide behind a hydro pole facing south to catch the Northbound speeders. They use a buddy system and run out after one of the police officers has caught the speeder with Radar gun.
George Street near Park Hill Road
Radar sits at Dickson Park rear parking lot (has rocks around it.) There is a curve going either way so its easy to get burnt here. Limit is 50km heading into an 80
Water South Street near Meyers Road
An easy ticket for police officers, because Water St. S. is leading into a country highway (Hwy 24 S.), but the posted speed limit is 50 km/hr, which almost nobody observes, because this is not a residential zone, just a drive along the river to the country.
State Highway 8
Police sit at the Sunoco Gas Station almost every morning running various forms of Radar. They are usually nabbing cars coming from Hamilton into Cambridge.
Blair Road near Langdon Hall
Police park in the driveway of Langdon Hall, catching speeders leaving Blair heading towards Galt. They are parked right where the speed limit changes from 50km/h to 80km/h. The 50km/h is a "community safety zone", so fines are doubled. Victims are signalled to pull down the driveway to receive their ticket, so that other motorists don’t see them and slow down. They are frequently seen in this location in the mid morning hours (9-10).
