I295 & San Jose Blvd
I295 near Highway 17 and near San Jose Blvd – on both sides of the Buckman Bridge – North and South bound traffic can expect to see troopers in the median where the bridge begins. Troopers are seen most often mid-day and evenings.
Trout River Road
Two unmarked cars – one red and one black sit on the side of the road and appear to just be parked cars in front of someone’s yard. They sit where they will get you coming over the bridge.
Two motorcycle cops are sometimes in place of the unmarked cars. They clock the vehicles and then simply walk out in the road and point to the side.
A marked car sits in a church parking lot to catch people coming over the bridge from the other direction.
The speed limit is 35 because it is residential, but it’s a major connection road and that section is all straight (in contrast to the majority of the winding road) so it’s easy to pick up too much speed.
