The East Haddam Police & Resident Troopers Office would like to inform East Haddam residents about the number of complaints received by our office daily, about speed throughout town.
Officers constantly monitor different areas in town to address these speeding complaints and
look for other motor vehicle violations. Enforcement related to those issues is and will continue to be conducted on a regular basis.
Although speeding complaints are received from all areas of town, our office has been
experiencing a high volume of speeding complaints on Routes 82 and 149, especially in the East Haddam Village area, Boardman Road, North Moodus Road, Falls-Bashan Road and on the East Haddam-Colchester Turnpike.
It is not uncommon for officers responding to complaints of speeding and other motor vehicle
violations to find several of the violators to be those that live on that street or within the general
vicinity.
As you travel our roads throughout town, please take a minute to notice the posted
speed limit and stop signs and ensure you obey these signs.
Your local and State Police will work to ensure that our children are as safe as possible while traveling our roads to and from school. Please do your part by being alert, avoid driving distracted and be aware of the posted school bus stop signs, speed limit signs and buses stopped with flashing red lights, picking up or dropping off children. Strict enforcement action will be conducted around any violation involving children or a school bus.
Thank you in advance for doing your part in making the roads in East Haddam as safe as possible.

How about addressing the tailgating issue too? I drive within the posted speed limits and almost every single time I drive between the Transfer Station and the center of Moodus I get a car 2 feet off my back bumper.
