Underhill Ave, in Yorktown Heights, intersection of Rt. 129

If headed southwest on Underhill Avenue, toward the intersection with Rt. 129, there is sometimes a Yorktown police car parked facing against traffic in the northeast bound side, right before the stop sign, at the bottom of a hill (so you will be carrying more speed than you usually do). So they will be looking at you via their rearview mirror (and in my specific case) not using radar of any type. But they’ll hit the lights and pull you over as soon as you make the turn (either direction) onto Rt. 129. You might get a speeding ticket, or you might get an equipment violation, depending on the situation. I feel since I had a detector on the dash, the officer knew that I knew he wasn’t using radar, so his very specific (yet exaggerated, as I know exactly what my speed was and it was way below what he stated) statement to me about how many MPH I was over the limit, would not hold up. Hence he gave me “a break” with “only” an equipment violation ticket. Regardless, and I know the officer is only doing his job (and was very pleasant about the stop), something to be aware of if you travel through that area.
