Also known as Charity Street. They have been known to set up on the big sweeping curve headed toward downtown. Usually at the car wash. Sometimes it is an old car with a mannequin (really. in uniform and everything), or in a similar car with a real cop and working radar. Don't hit that light at Hardy Memorial on yellow. He can see that as well.

Comment (6/2005): What exactly is wron with "hitting the light yellow"The violation is "running a red light", not "running a yellow light", that's why they call those cameras "red light cameras"

Also known as Veteran's Memorial Drive. Long, flat 5 lane state highway, not in the greatest condition now, but the speed limit has been 45 since they first paved the road. On the big curve between the new Walgreen's (Hardy Memorial Drive) and Wildcat Drive, there are a number of places for a cruiser to hide. The unmarked cars (usually Fords) are often parked IN the Bay City Ford used car area, with radar on. Occasionally, they will come out to get you, but they usually just radio ahead to another car down the road. With the shopping centers right there, they can park at a number of places in those parking lots (where they do not have to have their lights on, BTW) and actually see you from the Hardy Memorial intersection to east of Blockbuster.

On the curve on LA 82 going or coming from the Perry Bridge, there is usually a Sheriff's deputy hiding just off Alcide Drive, and he will pull over ANYONE going over the speed limit. Don't let this happen to you.
