Waterloo, Ontario Speed Traps
Erb St. W and Westhaven St.
Heading east on Erb from Erbsville Rd. there is a wide four lane section, Westhaven is a side street just before it narrows back to a two lane. The cops hide on Westhaven and get people coming down the hill (west) from the lights where the KW Bilingual School is. Usually there in the afternoon. Limit is 60 km/h but it’s easy to be going faster since the road widens.
Phillip St. between University Ave. and Columbia St.
When you turn onto Phillip from Columbia, you go past the Sunoco station on the corner, a little further down on that side of the street is a gray warehouse with a small lot in front. The cops park in that lot and usually get people heading north (from University towards Columbia). Limit is 50km/h and the road is pretty rough, but I have seen quite a few people get caught. Usually an unmarked police car (all black) so most people don’t realize until it’s too late.
University between Erb and Fischer-Hallman
There are two service entrances to Westmount golf club along University and they effectively hide the cruiser in the shadows of the trees. The entrance closer to Fischer-Hallman is also checking for people racing and passing in the left turn lane.
Highland Road near Westgate
Officer hides behind the large city advertising sign to catch motorists in both directions.
Ira Needles Blvd.
On Ira Needles Blvd. between University Ave. and Erb St. roundabouts. Cop sits on new side street at top of slight crest, where all the new construction is happening. Out in the open, easy to spot him when heading south. But the crest blinds people heading north, thats who they usually catch. Limit is 60km/h, wide and straight road so its easy to be going 80km/h and not realize it.
