Southbound Telegraph, South of Ecorse
The Boys hang out in the driveway of the Gardner White furniture store on the west side of Telegraph just south of Ecorse. As you aproach Telegraph goes down an incline as you go under the Ecorse road under pass. You can’t see them and your detection device will be blocked by the over-pass until you pass under Ecorse. At that point you’re all done! Just wave as you pass by the unmarked with the red & blues flashing from the side view mirrors… The speed limit is 45mph.

They get you right when you come off I-94, speed limit 70 mph, you turn onto Telegraph and limit is 45. But don't worry, nice officer will write you for Impeeding Traffic instead of speeding so no points. Guy who wrote me said he did not know fine. It was $150.
The Gardner White, Telegraph just south of Ecorse has a nickname (The Taylor Ticket Dispenser) I have seen up to three cop cars lined up on the side of Gardner White. When one pulls a car over the others cant pull up fast enough to not waste any time. Then they hurry across a busy parking lot to get back in line. One day one of the cops almost ran my wife and 88 year old mother in law over in the parking lot when they were walking into the Taylor Kitchen Resturant...........Just to make there ticket quota??????????????????????????
Traffic enforcement is one thing. This speed trap is a dishonest method of raising revenue. As an ex cop watching this activity in this area upset me so much I wrote and published two articles regarding this technique. You can read them here:

Shameful that any local government would abuse it's citizens in this manner especially when the economy is so bad. A ticket of this nature could cause a citizen to miss a house payment or the ability to put food on the table.

It should not be as profitable now they changed the exit ramp with the light. I used to feel like I was changing freeways with the old ramp and I drive that several times a day.
I have seen the Taylor police stop a driver and issue a ticket in the walmart turning lane (blocking traffic) and the same thing with the I-94 east bound enterance ramp ( blocking traffic ) there too. What is the deal with the 3 turning lane lights at Pardee & Goddard, beech daily & Goddard and Telegraph and I-94. They are retarded, halfass backwards!
