The Great Road (Elm Rd)
Cop hiding behind trees on a side streets intersecting with the Great Rd. Speed limit is 25! MPH (most go 40-45) on this very busy and non-residential street.
Elm Road/Great Road
The Great Road is a major thoroughfare, especially at rush hour, but the residents in these $1 to $5 million houses have complained repeatedly to the Township, and this is a favorite location for enforcement of a 30-mph zone in what should be 40+. Police with radar, and occasionally dummy cars and automatic signs telling you your speed. Just slow down here.
