Banks Road, between Coconut Creek Parkway and Atlantic Blvd. Motorcycle officer(s) generally hide behind an apartment complex sign (southbound) or in median between northbound and southbound lanes. Posted speed limit is 30 mph, road is designed for 40 – 45 mph traffic. 5 mph over the limit will get you pulled over. This trap is vigorously worked on a daily basis, usually during all daylight hours.

The cops sit parked in median and nail Speeders all the time, almost always at night.

They will sit a few cars back on the neighborhood streets. A cop will stand on the sidewalk with a radar gun & dispatch the cars after offenders. The speed limit is 30 along this road, but with the 2 lanes & no lights between 441 & Rock Island, it’s easy to spped. I live off this road & see them out especially in the morning & evening rush hours.
