4 lane, wide Boulevard near Interstate 75 & 285 intersection
As you head down Cumberland Blvd towards the Cumberland Mall, you will cruise down a steep hill that will easily take your speed close to 50mph unless you ride your brakes. The roads are wide and clear, so there doesn’t seem to be a lot of reason to do so, despite the easily missed 35 mph speed limit sign. Cops wait in the turning lane at the top of the hill just as you clear the trees blocking your view of the mall. They step into the road and wave you down, 6, 7 cars at a time. They seem to usually wait there around the end of the month – not sure if that’s true, but seems to be based on the time of month.
