US Hwy 51/Third Street North
Cops either sit on the shoulder of the road under a tree between Avenue B and Avenue C, lot behind an old tax office or in the parking lot of the feed store all facing north catching vehicles going south coming into town. Speed limit goes from 45mph to 35mph just before Avenue A and by the time you see them it is way too late. Up to 15mph over as long as you are slowing down they will let you alone and may flash their lights at you. If you are running 55 plus still you will get stopped and most likely written a ticket. Recently learned that some of the cops actually have rear mounted radar in their cars and will also get you coming up behind them where the speed limit is 25mph going thru the business areas. Most of the cops will stop you for any reason just to check paperwork and license status. Have been told Kentwood citizens apparently don’t believe in driver’s licenses or have suspended licenses and that is what they like looking for.
