Heading North on 114 the officers like to lie-in-wait in the Osamequin bird santuary dirt lot. Careful the speed limit keeps getting lowered. Its down to 40!

Comment (6/2003): I think it has to be added that this is an active spot at night also.. Just last night I saw that 3 cops had pulled over a car with a black dude driving it. I doubt speed was even a factor.

Comment (7/2004): oh yeah. got nailed by this one.

Comment (7/2004): The most times that the speed limit is enforced is at the begining of month and the end of the month

Comment (2/2005): yup...he is watching both sides of 114 with radar...its easy for him to cross over to the south bound side from where he sits.

Usually set back on the side of the road so you can't see them. I was given a ticket by a State Trooper who was standing in the middle of the highway with a radar gun. Two police cars on one side with six other cars pulled over and one facing on coming traffic so if you didn't stop that car would pursue you. You are coming off the interstate doing at least 65, then the speed goes to 45, then where I was stopped is 40 mphs. They just sit there and wait.
