trooper hides after exit 7, route 7, west bound and east bound shortly after route 7 exit. west bound they hid in dip off of side of road underneath the exit 6 sign. Eastbound he either is right in the loop where route 7 enters & exits, or, and sometimes and another is right after you go up a small incline, he they will be in center u turn, by the time you see them, you are caught. In addition, they just recently built a space right next to (and after) the bridge for exit 8, so that’s another good spot for eastbounder’s to get snagged.
