State troopers prefer to set up large traps (between 5&10 troopers) in a valley between these two highways, where 2 cars clock oncoming traffic(one for each direction), and the rest administer tickets. This is normally done 3-4 times in the summer when speeds tend to be higher. The local Stillwater/Lake Elmo police prefer to sit under the highway 5 over pass and clock rush hour traffic entering stillwater. They sit in the median, using the bridge support for cover…very effective, as you won’t see them until it’s too late. I have seen them there in the mornings as often as every other morning.
