Interstate 5 near Pocket/Meadowview Road

Sacramento, CaliforniaFeb 11, 20061 Comments

Northbound I-5 comes off an overpass and descends to the Pocket/Meadowview exit. At several different times during the day, I have seen CHP (both in cars and on motorcycles) parked on the shoulder, aiming their radar back toward the overpass. Because northbound traffic is going downhill at this point, it frequently speeds up well above the 65 mph posted limit. The motorcycles are especially hard to see, not because they hide, but because they get camouflaged by the trees and brown grass at the exit.

beware of the bridge over the railroad yards with the view of sac city stadium. Speed limits about 40, but traffic flow is about 50. You will be nabbed.

Interstate 80 near Interstate 5 and BUS 80

I-80 between BUS-80 split and I-5. I’ve noticed it patrolled by aircraft often during PM rush hour. AM CHP often sit on El Camino on ramp and near 5 to 80 West on ramp. Watch for unmarked cars.

Fair Oaks Boulevard near Garfield Avenue

Heading toward downtown on fair Oaks BLV there are many spots where the cops are waiting. Look out they hide down Garfield just enough so you cant see them till its too late. Further down towards Raley’s they often hold traps there. The speed is posted 40 but it seems easy to go 45-50+. My friend got busted going 5 more than the limit. The cop said it was due to the "winding nature of the road" the road seems more curvature to me. It only has slight bends. mostly there during the AM and PM rush hours but have been there at any time.
