Anyone who lives in Cleveland knows that the Cleveland Heights Police are notorious for issuing speeding tickets. A recent newspaper article states that their revenue off moving violations is highest in Ohio. The next closest city only earns 50% of the revenue that Cleveland Heights makes.

In addition, most everyone around Cleveland knows that Mayfield road is nothing but a speed trap with speed limit signs going from 25 to 35 and back down within a short number of blocks.

As for my story. The speed trap is at Mayfield & Coventry and one officer with the radar gun was parked approximately 2/10ths of a mile west of Coventry in a cemetery entrance. The other officer was parked across the street in an alley.

I was at the Stop light at Cedar & Mayfield. This portion of the road WAS 25 mph. There is a 35 mph sign in front of the cemetery. I drove up to speed after the light turned green and was given a ticket for going 35 in a 25 mph zone.

Basically be careful on Mayfield road in Cleveland Heights, but be aware of this speed trap just west of Conventry.

Good luck!
