Once you make a left onto Alicia from RSM pkwy and start going up the hill, there is an Officer who sits at the top (right around the corner so you cannot see him when traveling up the hill. The speed limit is 50. It’s very easy to forget he’s there and go faster up the hill. They also sit at the bottom of Alicia going in the opposite direction.

State Highway 241 near Oso Parkway
About a mile north after you get onto the 241 Toll Road, a CHP sits underneath an overpass with radar on. Clocking both north and south! This section of the 241 is very straight, giving incentive for speeders to punch it. But there are CHP cruisers everywhere and they have no mercy for speeders on this stretch of the 241 Toll Road!
