Speedtrap in construction zone in Paradise Hills & Lyon area. Officers hide on the side street behind a brick wall, clock you from a distance on radar, walk into the street, and wave you over. They pull over car after car and line them up on a residential side street. Very easy way to make their monthly quota in a couple hours.

Red light camera facing west toward Lomas traffic at Wyoming intersection. Catches people tryijng to beat the light turning left to get to a freeway-east onramp. Left turn permitted 15 seconds out of every 4 minutes (approx.)–enough time for only 5-6 cars to turn. This intersection was designed to frustrate drivers attempting to get to frwy.– a perfect no hastle fwy. on-ramp about 1/4 mi. further east was destroyed a few years ago. Drivers need to lobby for its reinstatement.
