As you exit Maple Plain heading West bound on Highway 12. The next 4-5 miles are a series of extremely short passing lanes on two lane blacktop. West Hennipen Public Safety officers sit on the shoulders and ditches of the East and West bound lanes. Sometimes you can find as many as 5 squad cars, sometimes you will see a guy sitting in a lawn chair with a radar gun in the back of a pickup in the ditch of the oncoming lane. The guy in the chair shoots and radios to squad cars.
