This is probably the most popular radar spot within the Gaithersburg, Montgomery Village, and Germantown area. Why? Because Watkins Mill road has a high incline at that point and drivers are caught by police either upshifting to get up the hill or merely gliding down the other direction. The speed limit is 35 miles per hour which is entirely unreasonable and police take advantage of this. They’ll either hide on the right side of the road (sometimes on the sidewalk even) if your going towards Montgomery village (up the hill) or right off the road where it eventually curves to the left at the bottom of the hill (going away from Montgomery village). The reason that police frequent this spot is because this section of Watkins Mill road is protected by THREE police departments. Montgomery county police, Gaithersburg police and Montgomery county park police. I live less than a mile away and police do everything to hide their radar setup. Police cars have been sitting on sidewalks behind trees, hidden behind "broken down vehicles", and even concealed by open trunks and police car hoods. This stop is completely made to fulfill a end of the month quota. There hasn’t been a speed caused accident or injury on this road in YEARS. Don’t get fooled.
