Union Turnpike
An unmarked Highway-3 car or marked patrol car will park at the corner of Union Turnpike and 195th Street. The officer has proven creative in his duties, as he will park and exit his car and hide behind a tree holding a radar gun pointed at oncoming traffic from Francis Lewis Blvd. He will also park his vehicle northbound on a southbound street, or parallel to Union Turnpike, hidden on the sidewalk. Those who travel this roadway know that the traffic signal from Francis Lewis Blvd is not timed in progression with the next light at 193rd Street, 8 blocks away. Since Union Turnpike is a 3-lane open roadway with a center divider, it’s easy to find yourself traveling above the posted 30 MPH limit. You will be pulled over at 36 MPH or better. You will most definitely see this officer during the morning rush hour as well as mid-morning hours.
