State Patrol and Edina city cops typically sit on the shoulder and pull over cars heading both eastbound and westbound near where State Hwy 62 (Crosstown) and 212 split. State Patrol heavily patrols westbound traffic at Shady Oak Rd. State Patrol sometimes checks westbound and occasionally eastbound traffic at Prairie Center Dr/ Valley View Rd. If you stay on the freeway, it becomes State Highway 5, make certain to read the entry about that.
