Davis road
New Albany Police love to sit on a turn road just inside the city limits. The speed limit drops to 35 at this point. They usually sit there early in the morning trying to catch people commuting to work. This road is a short cut to Blue Mountain and Ripley MS. People are usually in a hurry to get to work. When you round the curve before the road comes to a T, He has got you.

After you reach the city limit, there is often a cop sitting back behind the wooden church sign on the north side of the highway where the speed limit drops to 35, getting people coming around the curve.
Sam T. Barkley Road
There’s a cop sitting in the school’s drive way or in the church parking lot. Looking at the 4 way stop sign. You better come to a Complete stop (and possibly pause for a few seconds) Also they aim the radar towards Moss Hill and get people topping the hill. It’s only 30mph there, could easily be 40.
