Tagging people from behind the sign Westbound after Harrison?

I did not see any on 40. They were on the stretch between the exit for airport blvd and brier creek parkway. I saw 6 cops.

And how many of the 6 did you converse with?

None. I know better than to speed through that stretch of road. It erks me that they spend so much effort on a relatively lightly traveled road. Seems like there are other areas that would benefit from such strict enforcement. :lol:

It's not about safety; it's all about REVENUE. (the fact that a sheriff deputy is writing tickets is very damning indeed.)

Also, they do this every month. Maybe not to this level, but when I worked out there, you learned when to expect it and where they like to hide. (and as a former NCDOT employee (decades ago), I would not even blink when sending them -- the cop that parked there, personally -- the fines for killing the grass. Yes, the EPA does fine the state for that (eventually).)
