On Victory Drive about a block or two off Lapalco
Once entering Victory Drive off Lapalco, the driver has to make a right turn. Within about a block or so off to the right side of the road past the industrial buildings is a wide driveway or short street with shade trees. It’s even dark during the daylight. Since the speed limit is 20 mph, it is very easy to vastly exceed that speed limit when coming off a major road. The policeman is usually in a patrol car flashing his radar at you.
