Bayshore Road was recently upgraded to 4 lanes. As you travel west from I-75 the road changes to 45 at the curve about 1/2 mile from Slater. Troopers sit on the grass medium. Nothing but cows and open areas. I didn’t get a ticket. The trooper was very cordial. Gave me a warning.

At Hancock Bridge and Cleveland Ave (US 41) there is a no turn on red sign when turning right from Hancock onto Cleveland Ave. The police sit around the corner in the Walgreens and other parking lots waiting for people to turn on red. It is plainly marked “No Turn on Red”” so as much as I hate to say it – if we turn on red we deserve it.”

They sit in a cleared pocket of brush near Suncoast Baptist Church. Speed limit is 30mph for half of Laurel and 35 for the other portion, they will stop for 5 miles over.

Officers (usually Sheriffs) hide in the Median, which has heavy and tall brush in it, thereby blocking the view of oncoming traffic until the last second, when it is too late. The median is about 1/4 mile west of I-75, near the BBT bank. They usually are focusing on Westbound traffic heading into town for AM Rush hour. There are also motorcycle cops that patrol the same corridor all the way up to Daniels extension and SR82.
