Watch your ass on I-40 East bound around the Morrisville area. On my way to work I saw at least 7 Hwy Patrol cars pulling people over. They'll probably be doing this all morning, and will probably be on the West Bound side as well.


Consider yourself warned!

People go through the airport like its still a 65mph highway. I do 50 and get blown by. I have noticed more SHP's out there though, just never when some d-bag that was tailgating me zooms by at 80.

There were cops all over 54 this morning too (between CH and GSO) and 40 West from Burlington to GSO. Probably Memorial Day speed traps begun already.

^^^Thanks for the heads up, I'm taking 70 E to the beach tomorrow and I've never driven that before.

^^lol

When I say Morrisville Area I meant Harrison Ave over to probably the 540 exit. My work exit is Airport Blvd so I don't know what was past that.

^2 I think the worst places are around Kinston and New Bern. There is this part of 70 E (that you will def go through) where you cross a bridge after passing through the main part of New Bern. The speed goes from 55 to 50 but directly after that speed limit sign, there is almost always a cop sitting there waiting to pull people. So basically, when you hit bridge that's near an Outback, slow down.. They pulled my sister when she was going 60 because she hadn't even had time to slow down yet.


Also, they use a lot of empty cars -- near Kinston there's always this empty state trooper car sitting at an intersection.

You going to Atlantic Pat? I went there last weekend Watch out when you get to Havelock. Also, there's a part of 70 that goes to 70mph speed limit, but then drops back down to 55mph when you get close to city limits. I've seen cops hiding under the bridge just behind that 55mph zone a couple times. Kinda hard to spot them but they like to camp there...

I saw a couple BMW bike cops on Wade ave (I guess it's called Chapel Hill Expressway?) near the beltline this morning...

^^^^I thought I saw a BMW motorcycle cop, but I didn't think our gov't would blow our money on fucking $$$ bikes (though Harley's ain't cheap). They're out in force like whoa it seems. I'm headed to Cape Lookout with the crew (there's a thread somewhere else in Chit Chat about it). Weather's looking great tomorrow, so I'm probably gonna cruise the whole way down to the coast with the top down

I think I'm getting on 101 by Havelock, that's what I was advised to do to get to Harker's Island.

Gunzz, I too love days that a lot of ppl take off from work. Light traffic FTW. Now i just hope its the same case this afternoon.

everyone speeds. if they said it then they'd be hypocrites and their attempt at trolling would backfire.

I sort of do something like that, only not cutting hours.

Get in an hour before business hours leave at 3:30 or 4:00pm.

If I get in at 7am I only have to get up like 20 minutes earlier than normal because the traffic patterns are insane. If I get to the office by 7am and leave by 4pm my ride in is 25 minutes each way. If I do 8-5 it's easily an hour each way...

** Oh, and I can't do backroads because Mt. Diablo is in the way...

They were gone by 11:15 or so, guess they're just hitting morning/evening rush hours today. Went from Wade Avenue all the way down to 15-501 (exit 270) and back about an hour later, saw nary a trooper.

Oh, you mean the part where the speed limit changes and there are signs and such and you have plenty of time to slow down when approaching said signs cause you know they are there in the first place?

yeah, what a trap

The other day on 64 west, my husband was passing a car that was going really slow, so he pulled out in the fast lane going about 62 or 63. This stupid car gets right on his ass and starts blinking his lights like my husband was going really slow. After my husband passed the car, he got back in the slow lane and this car gets next to him and the guy starts yelling at him and flipped him off. Then the car zooms off going at least 75. It wasn't but about 5 seconds later and a trooper comes towards us in the eastbound lane. That same car slowed his ass down quickly, but it was too late. Trooper got him.
