US Highway 72 near State Highway 279
Right before US-72 becomes a non-divided highway (right after the AL-279 overpass between Scottsboro and Hollywood), Cops will wait in the median right on the other side of the overpass from Scottsboro trying to catch speeders speeding up on the way out of town. The speed limit of 65 is reasonable (most people do 70-75) – just wait until you get to the other side of Hollywood before speeding back up.
