The stretch of Sheridan Rd that runs past the main NU University buildings and dorms is frequently radar patrolled by both Evanston and Northwestern University police.

Do not blow past the black NU Police cars thinking they’re glorified security guards like those you see at Loyola. They are a fully empowered, full service police department that can (and WILL) pull you over for moving violations in and around the university campus and have the same powers as regular Evanston police (including arrest powers).

They frequently sit in the Garrett Seminary lot and use a radar gun on both North and Southbound traffic.
