N. Mulberry St. or anywhere within or around the village
As soon as you enter the village the speed limit goes from 55 to 25. A small section is posted at 35 so as to give confusion to drivers. There are no warning signs at the edge of town to warn drivers of the drastic change in speed. The entire village is maybe 1/2 mile from one end to the other. The part time officer on duty is usually out of sight on a side street with his radar gun at the ready. There is one traffic light in the center of town and if it doesn’t stop you, it doesn’t feel like you are going too fast for the surroundings at 30-35MPH. If you are caught, at I to 20MPH over 25 MPH, it will cost you $180. This offense is at the top of the list because it generates the most easy money for the village and they can snag even the most responsible driver. The officer is willing to overlook any other infraction because they don’t generate as much money. The ways the fees are set up, most infractions like fictitious Plates ($130.) or No Operators License (125.) are all far below the fee for speeding. This town isn’t just a speed trap, it’s a predatory speed trap.
