Webber Road near Beneva Road
In the median strip on Webber just west of Beneva, officers sit in the trees. They are hard to see unless you are looking for them.
Webber Avenue near Beneva Road
State Troopers sit in grassy median on Webber Ave. between Beneva Rd and Tuttle Ave. Very frequent area for them. They must do a good business there as I see them pull over people all the time. The trees in the median hide the trooper pretty well until you are on top of him and by then its to late.
