Where are the Laser/Radar Traps?

With the increase usage in the Bay Area I felt it may be helpful if we all shared where we encountered these traps. Perferably, day, time, highway and direction.

Laser, Tuesday, 10-9-07, South Bound 101 before McKee Road (about 400 yards before exit, just under a overpass) CHP on motorcycle.

He is hard to see because he is in the shadow of the overpass.

milbrae avenue onramp to 280 when heading north. CHP car hides in the pullout behind the wall so there is no way you will see him until you pass the entrance...usually no radar warnings on v1

both sides of fwy on bunker hill dr exit. CHP waits high on the northbound side of the onramp and low on the southbound side...close enough to the overpass you wont see them, but KA on the V1 should give you plenty of warning

I usually see a cop or two posted with lasers on 24 right after the Caldecott Tunnel, heading downhill towards the city. There is a long straight away, which is where they post on the right hand side.

880 southbound under the 237 overpass. there's usually someone there during the morning commute.

I have seen him a few times...sneaky.

I see them alot near 92 and 280. Mostly 280 both north and south bound. Usually sitting up on the vista point on ramps between Edgewood and 92 exit.

Once in a while I see one sitting behind the caltrans lot on the side of 280. Southbound near 35 and Millbrae exit. Theres a cyclone fence he hides behind and you wont see him til you pass him.

Yes, I live in the Bay Area. I've come to a few events. Although not SR. When I was in business years ago sometimes meetings were held up waiting for me to arrive. All the while I was sitting at the table. I prefer to be under the radar screen.

Wish it was that easy. Can't really go into details. But, since you live in the area I'll introduce myself one of these days.
