Cops usually hide out under overpass with all lights off, or in the median late at night. Usually there are two cops monitoring south and northbound traffic, sometimes WSP will be on the other side and radar oncomming traffic. Used "instant on" radar, because my detector was going crazy from cars ahead of me getting clocked. | |

Comment (5/2003): Drive the speed limit. Try it ,it saves gas. | |
Comment (8/2003): The WSP is a joke as well as the spped limits in WA. I am glad to have moved back to California. | |
Comment (9/2003): Used to live in California, but find the commute in Washington to be a lot less stressful. Here, it seems like people generally drive reasonably close to the speed limit and drive sensibly. In California, it seemed like everyone wanted to be first in line. Constant tailgating, excessive speed and frequent lane changes meant you had to stay on your toes and watch your rear-view mirror for maniacs. | |
Comment (10/2003): boy if you guys think Washington is better than Cal for all those infractions you must be driving blind, it is worse here | |
Comment (10/2003): been observing a couple WSP cars and Bikes on the 167 during the morning rush hour the past couple of months. The afternoon rush hour seems to have only about half the amount of WSP than in the morning. | |
Comment (11/2003): I drive SR167, Hwy 18 and I-5 daily, yes all three. Average 150 miles a day. The WSP are the worst. Beware, the last week I have been seeing a WSP unmarked silver chevy impala and he is busy. Just like the above says, they like to hide under the overpasses and use laser to pick you out of a croud. I do however wish they would enforce the car pool lane better. I see DOZENS of people driving alone in that lane every day. Keeping with the flow of traffic is always the best policy. I-5 around Fife is the worst. | |

When heading down the Green Valley Road eastbound(Between Auburn and Black Diamond) you will encounter a long straightaway followed by curving roads for many miles. Just after the first curve motorcycle patrols will sit in a driveway and catch you with radar just as the speed limit decreases to 35. It is a sparatic radaring sight and they tend to catch you off guard. | |

As you head up the hill just off Hwy 167 on NW 15th Street, half way up on the right hand side is a private drive that is somewhat obscured. Local motorcycle units can be seen there several times each week. | |
