After/Before the Mississippi River bridge on the Hennipen County side (West River Road overpass), MN HWY 610 splits into MN HWY 610 west, and MN HWY 252 south (two lanes dedicated to both). The speed limit is 65 MPH, and the road curves slightly after nearly three miles of straightaways. Right in the middle of the road, after the cement lane barriers end, there is a handy flat spot for "emergency turn arounds" that just happens to be wide enough for a full size sedan to park at an angle. This is usually enforced by state troopers (but not always)in their dark cars after midnight on the weekends. I was really lucky, when I discovered this, for they were aimed toward the other side of the highway. Just a heads up, Anoka/Hennepin counties and Brooklyn Park/Coon Rapids have a jurisdiction agreement that allows them to enter the opposite (so don’t try to run).
