Officers like to sit in several spots along the highway particularly the stretch between the Jamestown Bridge and the Newport Bridge! Watch because the speed limit is a ridiculous 40 MPH!!!

Comment (1/2004): the only 2 speeding tickets i have in 14 years of driving are from that same spot(8 years apart). one minute you're on the highway, then as you come over a hill the speed limit suddenly drops for no reason and the cops are sitting right there. bam! they nail you.if i ever hit the lottery i will take down that island!

Local police will sit under the overpass, on the sidewalk, facing south. Very hard to see in the shadows. Also, further south, as you go down a big hill, they sit down a driveway on the west side.

Sit on the highway median, as well as in some bushes after the Jamestown bridge heading southbound/eastbound. The speed limit is about 45. The road looks like an interstate, and the speed limit should be 65, or more. Catch tourists here like no other. A really exploitative place to catch people.
