At the top of the hill (Leewood Drive) before the one-way street
(Lawrence Ave.) which prevents through traffic there is a stop-sign trap.
There is a "do not enter" sign there so I didn’t see the stop sign and
made a left turn that does not conflict with the right-of-way as there
was no traffic from Lawrence Ave. The stop sign is really pointless.
The local cop was not nasty but he was all business. He was only
acting on orders from above as when I passed by on my return trip
he was stopping someone else exactly where he stopped me, on Rte 22.
After passing that stop sign which I did not see I did make a full stop for
the next stop sign (I remember that clearly) while the cop was tailing me,
although I did not know it at the time. Apparently there are no points
off a ticket for good behavior – I will fight it in any case.
