Huntington Ave.

The officers will often sit in their vehicles, but back from the road, so you can not see them until you are right on top of them. Speed limit is 35, this is a three lane, residential and light industrial type road. The speed limit could easily be 45, maybe even 50 and still remain a safe road. Because of the close proximity to the shipyard, there is constant traffic and a small number of trucks that pass by at all times. Also, the road is a one-way road. The officer will use radar and, not only will they catch you speeding and THEY WILL pull you over and ticket you, but they will often turn their radar gun and continue to monitor your speed as you drive away, so that if you think that you didn’t get caught and that you can speed up, then you’ll have a ticket written for that faster departure speed, rather than the slower approach speed. Also, if you have any expired or missing stickers, or ANY burned out lights, you will also be ticketed for them. The officer will basically do a walkaround of your vehicle and look for anything to write you for. The officer will actually ask you to step on the brake, so he can get a close up look of your tail lights, and then he will seat you in the back of his cruiser while he turns on your turn signals and checks those! Therefore, avoid Huntington Ave. at all costs if you can, and if you do take that road, go 33 just to be safe! At least the judge in traffic court is a fairly nice man, and if you are respectful, you will usually get your sentence reduced.
