Old Post Road near Old Kent Road

Today, Troop C posted a car along the main stretch of Old Post Road the road for the entire day. For the last 3 or so weeks they’ve had one of those "you’re going xx MPH" signs near the middle school and now they’ve decided to back it with local muscle. A relative of mine received a ticket here this morning for 10 over the limit (40 in a 30). This is much more aggressive than the usual "okay <15 limit" that usually applies out here. I drove back to the area this evening and found that they are backing up in people's driveways. They were completely out of sight and I only found the guy because of my detector. Without the detector, I would have been toast myself. FWIW, they are using K-band radar (same as the sign they posted by the school).

I understand the need to keep the speed low near the schools, but given that the remainder of the terrain on this road is steep rolling hills, it is no doubt a classic speed trap.
