Curve of 1st Street and Charleston (by Oak Lake)
Officers like to park their cars in the lots of business on 1st Street then stand in the lawns of the businesses and run radar. They normally radar north towards Cornhusker as there is a small hill where the lanes change from 4 to 2. By the time you see them, it’s too late. They normally work in team of 2 or 3 and pull over numerous cars, particularly in the mornings.
