Skycrest Rd. between Brentwood and Trawick
Speed limit here is 35 but anyone can easily go 50 or above, especially at the bottom of the hill. At the bottom of the hill there is a fairly large piece of land that has not been developed, you will find one or two crown vics hiding there. There are bike cops usually in pairs hiding in the entrances of subdivsions. Watch yourself there, someone is always there but they add more units during the AM and PM rush hours.
I-40 near 540 ramp at beginning of work zone westbound
Simply an unmarked white Camaro waiting for you to go through. I was going 83 in the 55 work zone, but with traffic and people passing me on the left, so they’ll get anyone. I called a lawyer to get some help, and all I said was speeding ticket and he said "I-40 RDU, the beginning of the work zone, right?" at least 10 pulled in the last 3 days. keep ur eyes open, i’ll prolly lose my lisence over this one.
Harps Mill between Falls of Neuse Road and Litchford Road
Harps Mill is a speed trap in Raleigh with a speed limit of 30. The road has a parking lane on each side with wide traffic lanes. The road goes up and down hills with gentle turns. You naturally want to drive 40 to 45 on this road. The Raleigh PD enforces 31 on Harps Mill. You have to ride the brake over half of the distance of the road to maintain the 30 MPH speed. Raleigh PD uses a pack of motorcycles and some cruisers to enforce the Harps Mill speedtrap.
