Beneath bridges spanning 316 from the I-85 turn off to Hi Ho
Gwinnett County police cars maintain a strong presence along the above mentioned stretch. They will sit beneath the bridges with lights out in an effort to catch you. Two noticeable spots are 1) East Bound, immediately as you join 316 from 85 the speed drops from 65 to 55. If you don’t slow quickly enough you’re busted. Another favorite spot is the bridge at the Collins Hill exit. Upon passing the bridge the road works appear to end (This was after all the first section completed three (3) years ago. However, the road work sign is still up until Hi Hope Road (Beyond the “Jesus/Coming Soon sign). I was stopped at 2 a.m. on an empty road, clocked at 67 in what is deemed a 45 mph area. A plea deal arranged with a lawyer will likely cost me no less than a $600.00 fine. It is common knowledge; as other posts here suggest and further more, supported in the AJC report on Sunday, October 25, 2015 that local police are using the roadworks here as a way of gaining revenue (Gwinnet ranks in the top twenty of money making jurisdictions in Metro Atlanta) to fund expansive building works being undertaken. It is a pity that the police can alienate otherwise law-abiding citizens in such a fashion!
