Elizabethtown, Kentucky Speed Traps

KY state police and E-town city police patrol this under-posted interstate between and around the Wendell H. Ford Expressway and the BG Parkway interchanges. Because there are so many interchanges in such a small stretch, there are many overpasses that provide several hiding spots for police. I was nailed by an officer parked in the shadow of an overpass who was clocking speeds standing beside his cruiser with the trunk lid open, basically deceiving me into thinking it wasn’t a police vehicle. I thought it was a minivan from a distance. He then stepped around the cruiser, shut the trunk and pointed me out. If you come up on this area, be aware, especially if you see a vehicle on the shoulder or median, regardless if it looks like a police car or not. KY tickets are not cheap either!

One officer on bridge with radar gun and several (3 at least) taking turns pulling over and writing citations. Experienced this on journey northbound and witnessed on reuturn trip several days later.

Everytime we go through they have several people pulled over.
