State Highway Route 8
On route 8, just west of Kouts, there is steady monitoring of vehicles speeding up before reaching and coming out of the 55MPH zone. Even ten over in the 35MPH and/or 45MPH zones is unacceptable. The officer is respectful, but will usually say that he is cutting you a break and gives you "only" a city ordinance violation fine and that no points will go on your license. A little obastacle to be avoided if you’re trying to shortcut down to or from I-65.
