Motorcycle cop hiding in the bushes Eastbound just east of Macdonald St. I usually see him when traffic is relatively light, around 7 PM, you can’t see him at all until you’re right on top of him, then the first thing you see is his radar gun.

Northbound on Country Club Drive (AZ 87) just past the railroad overpass at Broadway, Police motorcycle hiding behind brick wall with hand held radar gun. Country Club is 45 MPH all the way to this point but drops to 35 MPH just before the overpass. I have seen them there in the morning and evening rush hour, and late at night, especially on Friday and Saturday.

Recently all the intersections in Mesa with Photo Radar Systems have been activated to enforce speed violations too. In the past they were only activated for red light running. So if you speed up to "make the light" you may end up with a speeding violation instead. Proceed with caution.

Motorcycle cops sit back aways on the side streets. Beware
