Farm Hill Boulevard near Lonesome Pine Road

Posted speed limit is 35 mph, and large signs warn of "Zero Tolerance Zone". 35 mph really may be the maximum safe speed on the east-bound section of Farm Hill Blvd just before the speed trap, as the grade goes steeply down a hill and simultaneously curves to the right. There is no center divider on this down-hill-curve, so there is nothing that would prevent an out-of-control car from plowing head-on into the opposite lane.

Cop-car sits at the edge of Lonesome Pine Road with the hood sticking out onto Farm Hill Blvd facing north. Cop points the speed gun out of his driver-side window toward the west, as east-bound cars roll down the hill toward the speed trap.

For the east-bound direction, the speed trap is obstructed from view until 160 yards proximity due to the road curvature.

There is another speed trap 123 yards to the east of that at the intersection of Farm Hill Blvd and Silver Hill Road, but the Lonesome Pine Road location is used more often due to lower visibility.

A pair of motorcycle cops may lurk on the south sidewalk of the Farm Hill Blvd another 123 yards east of the Silver Hill Road intersection, between that intersection, and the Cambridge Road intersection. The sidewalk trees provide a good shadow.
