After passing over I-40 and continuing on White Bridge Road/Robertson Road towards the 155 Briley Parkway interchange Loop, the lane reduces to a single lane entrance ramp. This single lane joins another lane and the police stand on the slim island between the two merging interchanges. They point a hand held radar gun at both merging roads and pull cars over. This is a very dangerous intersection with fly over ramps and traffic. Tickets (not warnings) are being issued to fill a quota. It is very dangerous for the police to be standing on the narrow island but they yell at drivers and make you pull on to the small island to get a ticket.

The problem is all signs indicate you are merging on to a two lane highway and so you accelerate to 55 miles per hour. The police agree that the speed limit when the two lanes merge is 55 miles per hour, but the entrance ramp is forty. So they ticket you for accelerating to merge into higher speed traffic.

TDOT traffic counts estimate 51,000 vehicles use this interchange each day, in addition to the 90,000 vehicles that travel this stretch of I-40 daily. So this is speed trap is really a definitely a revenue builder for the police and city
