The Cop sits facing south the west side of Hwy. 377 just before the 50 MPH sign, on private property. At that point 4 lanes merge into two lanes, many motorists excellerate to merge into the single lane heading north out of Roanoke on Hwy. 377. Just down the road less than 1/4 mile the speed limit changes to 60 MPH. The Cop will sit there from the time the sun goes down until the shift ends around 12 midnight.
