Emerald Dr. / NC58
The officer likes to sit on the shoulder of the road facing on-coming traffic behind some bushes . As you are comming on the isle over the high-rise bridge, you can’t see him until you are right on top of him. His car is so close to the road that it scares you into swerving to the left , and if he doesn’t pull you for speeding he will think you are drunk and pull you anyway. Watch your speed on the bridge, the steep decline will cause your speed to increase. 45 M.P.H. zone!!!
