The trap is at a point where a 2 mile downhill stretch of SR 8 enters the city from the south. Cars can travel 55 to within 200 yards of the city limits then it drops to 45 then it drops to 35 at the city limits. The trap is about 100 feet from this point on a side street on the west side of the highway. They also catch people starting uphill trying to get momentum before climbing the 2 mile uphill stretch.
A note on the police action in this city, when they were having budget cuts the police chief stated that they did not need to reduce their force since they were a "revenue producing" branch of the city govt. I recently was ticketed for 55 in a 35 zone going south trying to get up the hill, I believe I was doing 45. It cost me $134 and 3 points on my license.
