Speed trap near Warrendale

For the benefit of anyone driving near the Dearborn/Warrendale border, the Dearborn Police Department has a speed trap set up on Mercury Drive. Officers are in a marked vehicle between Ford Rd. and the Southfield Freeway. Their presence is partially concealed by the long construction trailer on the south side of the road.

I don't have a problem with the police setting up and watching for speeders. In some of the more severe cases, I'm profoundly thankful for when they do. I only like to level the proverbial playing field by letting people know where they are.
