If you are traveling from Interstate 81 South on Route 15, watch out! This is a favorite road for this township to make money. The road winds past Kristy’s Whistle Stop on the right, then crosses over the railroad tracks which lead into the Enola Freight Yards. You are going downhill and naturally pick up speed. By the time you go through the light into West Fairview, most folks are hitting 50, and the dividing of the highway into a split road four lane — two lanes on each side — adds to the sense that you are not going that fast. The police hide up the road behind the car wash on the right.
I lived there for years and saw as many as four police cars working this strip. Guess they had a heavy quota to make that day. A couple of years ago, the Harrisburg Patriot News ran a story on the now-deceased chief of police and how in 20 years he had written just short of 10,000 tickets.
