A marked Fairview Township cruiser will be parked in a private drive next to a lonely old house with red siding. This house is on the left as you head into Lewisberry. It is near the used lawnmower dealer that sits on the right side of the same road.

The cruiser is usually hidden by an old Chevrolet pickup truck that sits in the house’s driveway. The speed limit drops to 45mph (from 55 mph) very close to the officer’s location. Rt 382 is wide and flat, and you will likely find yourself driving 55 to 65mph as you pass the first of two 45 mph signs. You will probably be tailgated if you slow down to 45mph even gradually; it is ironic that compliance with the posted limit will likely increase the chances of others passing you in an unsafe manner (or hitting the rear of your vehicle) in an attempt to maintain their speed.

It should be noted that speeding out of Lewisberry on Rt 382 – on the same road directly past the cruiser’s location – gives you a much lower probability of being ticketed than does maintaining your higher speed as you approach Lewisberry (which has one four-way red blinker and few houses on the road where the 45mph speed limit is periodically enforced using the "sight" method.)
