Interstate 485 near Around the Fort Mill Exit – Rt. 160
There is a long stretch of open highway on the new southern part of I-485 between I-77 and I-85. The speed limit is 65, but it’s very easy to speed. State troopers occasionally monitor this area in unmarked vehicles or motorcycles.
State Highway 16 near Mt. Holly Huntersville Road
Cops love to hide in the grassy median or the parking lots of businesses along this Northern section of Brookshire. I’ve got a ticket there and I see people pulled over there daily. Speed limit is 45 and 55 on that road, but it looks like an interstate when you get out of the city and people drive on it like it is.
