Magnolia Avenue near Braverman Street
The motor officer (San Diego County Sherriff) parks their motorcycle on the sidewalk about 30 feet down Braverman then stand on the sidewalk at the intersection of Braverman and Magnolia Ave. They then tag the vehicles travelling north on Magnolia Ave and once the speed is recorded they step into the middle of the street to pull the vehicle over. Not safe for them or the driver and certainly a trap.
Mast Boulevard near Halberns Street
Mast Blvd between Halberns Street and Cuyamaca Street on the east bound side of Mast Blvd primarily. The motorcycle officers (San Diego County Sherriff) park their motorcycles between two cars and walk forward a couple of cars away. They then use their radar to gather your speed and step into the middle of the road to stop you. There vehicles are hidden from view thus you never know they are in the area until they step out into the middle of the street to stop you.
