Transportation

[edit]

Rosendale is located along Highways 23 and 26. Wis 23 heads west to Ripon and east to Fond du Lac. Wis 26 heads north to Oshkosh and south to Waupun, and is designated as an alternate route for Interstate 41. The junction of 23 and 26 was formerly controlled by stop signs, which caused long backups at peak traffic times but now has a traffic signal.

Rosendale has a reputation of being a speed trap with a police department that heavily enforces traffic laws.[10][11][12][13]
