As you enter or leave town on Monticello Rd, also known as Ridge road, cops will "hide" in the entrances to the sub-divisions on both the north or south side of the road as well as sitting in the parking lot of Tatman Retirment Center. The speed limit is slower than you would think it would be going in both directions (30). Leaving town (going east) you would think you could speed up, and coming into town (going west) you may just not get slowed down soon enough.
