Several motorcylce officers, sometimes county, sometimes state troopers in between 419 & the Bithlo area race track (sometimes further out past SR520 on SR50), but primarily between SR419 and the next stop light on the left. Usually 5-10 officers stopping speeders. It is very easy to be caught as this is almost open road to 55mph, but the POSTED SPEED LIMIT is 45MPH. I see these motorcycle cops daily between 7AM & 9AM. Sometimes they are there in the afternoon as week in the median in front on McDonalds at SR419 intersection. The end of the month when "activity minimums" are needed, not quotas mind you this activity is even more prominent! Hope this helps!
