I've seen this trap twice (and been the victim once), both times on Monday mornings en route to Jeff City on Hwy 63. There are white dashes in both lanes of traffic just South of the Ashland exit. They use these lines to calculate a vehicle's speed by airplane. They only set this up on clear days. You can pretty much speed all along 63, but slow down in between the white dashes and you're good to go!

Comment (7/2006): This is done by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and not by the Ashland Police Department.

Comment (7/2006): Yes, it's definitely highway patrol, and is a major operation. They're able to get several, if not dozens, of vehicles pulled over and ticketed in a relatively short time period.
