Hamilton, Ontario Speed Traps

This belongs to Waterloo Region Police, Guelph OPP and Hamilton Regional Police who all ticket liberally along the 18km road. Wellington County is on the North side of the road (Guelph OPP); on the South side, the eastern section is Hamilton, the western half is Waterloo (North Dumfries). It is an open rural road posted at 60 “because of the number of school buses”. Tickets are given out at all times of the day – especially during the week, and NOT when the buses are running! They are never there on weekends when people do truly speed (often well over 100kph), but they like to ticket those doing around 20kph over the 60 limit – more likely toward the end of the month.

Speed is 70 km. Cruiser parks in the cemetary at corner of Highway 52 and 2nd concession.

Not entirely a speed trap however if you aren’t careful, they can get you for it too as that seems to go hand in hand with the running of the stop sign. Officer parks on Agincourt and will get you with a stop sign infraction since nobody seems to want to stop at that stop sign.

An officer stands on the Greenhill overpass with a radar gun pointed at vehicles travelling westbound before the overpass. Once drivers reach the other side of the overpass, there are police cars lined up all the way down the Greenhill onramp to pull over the cars tagged by the radar gun. This is a favourite spot for them. It’s usually between 8and 10am and is at least 3 times per week, with an increase in frequency towards the end of the month.

Morning is a favourite time. They sit under the overpass and you don’t notice them because your driving into the sun.
