Is there an area road where you drive more cautiously because it has a reputation for being a speed trap?
The Dayton Daily News reports that rural areas, in general, are the top spots in Ohio for getting a speeding ticket. Is there an area street or road where you drive cautiously because it has a reputation for being a speed trap?
JEFF CUTLIP, Centerville: “There are two: The suburban one is in Oakwood on Ohio 48 from Arrow Wine to Patterson. The other one is out on Ohio 73 near Harveysburg, on your way to Caesarscreek. That’s notorious.”
EMMIE HEMMINGER, Dayton: “I don’t worry about it. I’ve only had one speeding ticket ever. But I’m a county employee, and I transport kids, so I’m just very careful.”
PAULA PRICE, Centerville: “I-75 south, in the construction zone, when no construction is under way. I got a ticket on a Sunday afternoon and another at 10:00 at night. My suggestion is for officers to have a pay-ahead system or card swipe, so I could be on my way.”
TIM DAVIS, Farmersville: “In Miamisburg, as you’re coming from Farmersville-West Carrollton Road and you make a right. People fly through there, because it’s rural, but the speed limit is only 35 mph. Miamisburg cops sit there all the time.”
GEORGE WYMER, Dayton: “Oakwood. I use my cruise control there automatically, even though it’s 35 mph.”
TOM RENAUD, Centerville: “48 through Oakwood. I’ve lived here 62 years, and it’s always been an area where people worry about being pulled over. I always watch that area.”
BRANDI SMITH, Englewood: “On I-75 on the way to Cincinnati, where all the construction is. You see a lot of officers on their cycles there.”

No need to be cautious if one is going the speed limit.

Driving at speed limit = no tickets/accidents = less stress = healthier heart = longer life! Any questions?

Rt. 49 at the edge of Phillipsburg, and Spinning Rd. near Airway through the base housing are frequently watched. Watch out on the 35/49 connector as well.

State Route 41 through North Hampton - no signs warning you that speed goes down to 25 ahead…except the neighbors who used to have signs up in their yards to warn people of the speed trap ahead.

I wish a permanent speed trap were set up on Whipp Road between Mad River and Far Hills. Drivers treat it like a highway.

The towns of Tremont City and North Hampton. Both have full time cops to man the single cruisers. But if you drive the posted limit you don’t get cited.
