HIDDEN SPEED TRAP

At the end of the Prospect Expressway there is a traffic light at Church Avenue, just before it becomes Ocean Parkway. The speed limit is 30. It's easy to approach that intersection at 60 mph. That's 30 over, which comes with 6 points. The cops hide off to the right and point a lazer at traffic. Be especially careful at the end of each month. Yes, they've got quotas.
