This is usually a team effort with several motorcycle cops and two or three patrol cars. One patrol car will sit in the parking lot just east of Taco Bell (about half-way between the river and Lyons Blvd.) running the radar gun and will radio information to the others that will chase down the speeders. Since 12th Street in this area has a raised section in the middle, they only go after the westbound traffic.

I’ve seen this trap in action while having lunch at Taco Bell, and it’s quite a revenue generator for these guys. It’s not uncommon for them to have six or seven cars pulled over at one time. Beware.
