I see, on a daily basis Dark Blue College Park H.E.A.T. cars (state sponsored traffic enforcement) and white patrol cars working this stretch of interstate, and on some days a pair of motorcycles also. The posted speed limit is 55 mph (as is all of I-285 and the metro area inside of I-285). I have been stopped in the area for running 78, which was on the high side of traffic, but not unreasonable. The officer was nice, but it cost me $210.00. I drive the area daily at 70 and have no problems.

I see between one and four cars on this stretch on my way to and from work EVERY DAY and almost every one I see has someone pulled over. DO NOT go flying through here. The Atlanta area is changing and 80+ mph is no longer being ignored!

I have also seen "multi-jurisdictional" reports on the news about these H.E.A.T. units and it appears that all of the agencies involved allow the other agency units to work in their area. That means the cars can go pretty much anywhere in the Metro Atlanta area and make stops! Watch out.

Although the one I dealt with was nice, I could tell that the chances of getting a warning from him were about like getting a warning from a motorcycle cop — zero!
