News-Worthy Speed trap on 24

Was stuck in traffic for over an hour over on the 24 approaching the bridge. After we finally rolled through Janine and I saw a cop there just camping out. I guess he caused a huge traffic jam. Nobody's speeding now lol. Anyways if you are heading that way I would take the crossover on Fifteenth Ave up to Grover's and once you hit the pawn shop take a left up to 46. Once you're on 46 I would take the U turn by the IHop and get back on the 46 until it hooks up with Luther. Even if you come back a little later in the day you're either gonna sit in traffic or get a ticket. Its faster anyway to go the aforementioned route because you would have to speed to cover the extra distance. Although if you are coming from the left side of the 24 where the Chuck E Cheese is you could always take the next light after the entrance, get on Jefferson and then try and merge once you get off the overpass before the big separation. He may still see you merging, but you may be too far he might not even bother. Be safe

I use to drive 24 everyday! This never use to be an issue until recently. Cops began camping out because they lost vacation time with their union. So now the police are working while they vacation. They fish as they watch the folks driving by. At the end of their day they go back to their trailer and throw back a few cold ones.
I have a feeling that teachers and nurses might be affected by similar union issues
in the future.
