NCSHP or Apex PD will sit either under bridge at 55 or park on the on-ramp to US 1 S from HWY 55 to catch folks heading towards the 70mph zone ahead on US 1 S

The speed limit drops from 50 to 45 mph as you go through this intersection on a 6 lane SR. Apex PD sits just on the other side, actually inadvance of the new posted speed limit signs and nails commuters all day long for 46+mph. New Quota’s for PD Revenue as the town is in budget shortfall.

Cycle times on yellow to red on a second or two for left turning lane. Apex PD hides in view of the intersection waiting for possible left turn violators. They set a medium with on-coming traffic that can turn right, into your path, so you’re distracted by on-coming traffic for the 2.25 seconds of yellow light. Taking this to NC AG.

Two places along Lake Pine. One is in front of the lake. Officers like to stand at the entrance and catch people coming down the corner around the hill.

A cop will sit in the the neighborhood and catch people going northbound that are coming down the curved hill, or stand at the entrance to the neighboorhood and catch people on the straitaway southbound.

There is a slight hill in front of Olive Chapel Elementary School where Apex police like to sit right before, and right after school starts. It is hard to see them no matter which way you are going on the road. They park in the wide shoulder of the road, on the schools side.
