Comment (7/2002): When driving route 104 towards Raynham, in the morning, there are a 4 places to watch for: Starr's Variety parking lot, Hansen's Farm, Scotland store across from Industrial Park, and the Mobil Station. I make it a point to keep to the posted speed limit, before, during and after those particular sections. Once you reach the turnoff for I-24, you are clear. They are not there everyday, at least not at 5:30 a.m. or 4:30 pm. The police occasionally place those electronic speed signs along the road, that show you what speed you are driving and what the posted speed is. I have yet to see an officer, when that sign is in use. (Maybe because I slow down?)

Local Police will be sitting in a van, or patrol car (both are marked), usually in the parking lot of a Chinese Restaurant (left side of road). Sometimes they will be waiting in the auto parts store's parking lot, which borders the Chinese restaurant's lot. The other known spot is the Riviera club's parking lot, on the right side. If they choose the left side of the road, they are visible as you are coming down the hill, from the flashing yellow lights towards Bridgewater center. If they are in the Riviera parking lot, you won't see them until it is too late. I usually see them holding the radar gun. NOTE: The speed limit is 45, then 40 as you crest the hill, before the flashing lights, but after you crest the hill it becomes 35. It's easy to keep going fast, but a very good idea to slow down. I haven't been nabbed (because I know about this trap), but I've seen others, being pulled over. The speed traps can be on any day, but mostly I see them on weekends between morning and 10:00 p.m. I can say that anytime I have been pulled over by the Bridgewater Police (3 x's), they have always been courteous and fair. Each time, I was given a break. (I really appreciated that!)

Local Bridgewater police usually parked over the bridge in the old truck junk yard. Radar is usually always on, so it is easy to pick up with any radar detector.
