Oakwood Ave/Route 40

Troy, New YorkMar 13, 20102 Comments

The speed limit on this road changes from 30 to 45mph. It stays at 30 from Route 7 until midway through Oakwood cemetery where it goes up to 45 and then goes back to 30 shortly before Route 40 meets up with Northern Drive/Route 142. The speed trap is always where southbound drivers on Route 40 transition from 45 to 30mph near the cemetery. They hide out at the cemetery gates, abandoned building parking lot just past the gates, or the parking lot next to the pond. They look for people still going 45mph. They are always there on weekend mornings and early afternoons and usually leave the commuters alone during the week due to the volume.

Comments:
Police also often set up in the driveway of the church approximately one mile north of the cemetery entrance, which is nearly in the middle of Oakwood Avenue's length.

A nasty speed trap I did not see anything(Including signs that say Welcome to Troy,for had I known I was in the city I would have been going 30) until I came down the hill and turned right onto 40 north and lights came up.Nice little money maker I'd imagine,don't expect mercy here.I have no record of anything in many years and the officer did not bat an eyelash in handing out ticket,real nice..
