They like to sit on the NE loop of the cloverleaf of the Holton exit. Also from HWY 75 to Goodyear along Hwy 24 where the traffic is always faster than the posted limit.

Carnahan Avenue near Interstate 70
The cops will set up on the exit ramps to catch speeders on the interstate or set up to catch you on Carnahan right where the speed limit changes from 45 to 30. I used to deliver in this area and they would set up here at any time of day.
21 Street
At 21st and Wannamaker, there is a big hill west on 21st street past a gas station running next to the Westridge Mall. If you are coming DOWN that hill heading east, it is hard to maintain your speed, and cops LOVE to sit at the base of that hill with their car parked out of site. They will stand on the corner with a radar gun IN HAND and catch people coming down that hill too fast, then pull you off to the side and give you a ticket! WATCH OUT!
