Capital Blvd, Northbound side, btwn Wade/Atlantic exits

Motorcycle + Radar. Often during lunch hours M-F, frequently during morning rush hour M-F (at least 5-7x/month). A motorcycle cop will sit in the median cutthrough across cross Budweiser distributor plant. Road is totally straight. Though in plain site, he is obscured by the backgrough of oncoming southbound traffic. Speedlimit is 45 though Capital Blvd is a 6 lane divided hwy in good condition that can take 55 easily. Trick is to look for burning headlamp. STAY BELOW *50* if at all possible. They will pursue and pull you over past the overpass. Very productive site for revenue generation. Once I passed and watched him pull over the car behind me. When he turned on his rollers three cars crashed into each other (rear-ending and chain reaction) because everyone was looking in their rear-view (does anything good happen with blue lights in yours?). The cop went about writing a ticket rather than do the accident report and investigation.

You’re not out of the woods. Capital Blvd, Northbound. Past the Atlantic Ave. Exit (about 1/4 mile north of Budweiser plant), motorcycle cops are known to take pictures here too, particularly on bright sunny days because they sit in the shadow of the overpass–it is hard to see because of the slight bend in the road and the glare. I was busted on a seatbelt violation here. I had seen one lurking around earlier so kept my speed down … but still got pulled over.
