In between the first and second LaPlace exits is very often a nasty place to get snagged. Its easy for police to enter and exit using either exit, so it is common for them to drive in loops. This is also the first stretch of highway that’s on land after the twelve mile bridge spanning the spillway, where speeding is fairly common. Also, when the twelve mile bridge finally ends there is a slight rise and a bend in the road. Cops also like to sit just on the other side of the bend where you cant see them until its too late.
