Canfield, between Lawrence and Foster
The entire length of this stretch of Canfield has been a speedtrap for decades because the city of Norridge has an unreasonably low speed limit posted for the type of street and traffic. It should be a 35, minimum 30mph, but posts 20. Just an excuse to give a ticket, it is not unsafe to travel at 35 here. Recent justification by police is that "area residents have been complaining" about speeders. Yeah, it’s pretty easy to complain about anyone going over 20. Norridge residents want the luxury and convenience of access to streets that get them to or through Chicago and a couple other suburbs, but don’t want non-residents to travel on their streets. Shameful philosophy, using traffic violations to restrict and rip-off your neighbors. Hope non-Norridge residents retaliate by hitting them in the pocketbook, i.e. find other towns in which to do your shopping and dining, don’t do business in Norridge as much as possible.
