Laurel Canyon Blvd., Studio City, Calif., Speed Trap

The following refers to Laurel Canyon Blvd., Studio City, California, south bound direction, heading from Studio City over the hill into Hollywood. This is a surface street, not a freeway.

When traffic allows, I enjoy going through Laurel Canyon at a brisk pace, but I've noticed that the cops have a new gimmick. It used to be that there was a motorcycle cop with a radar gun. He'd be in a driveway on the west side of the street. Now, two L.A.P.D. in a squad car are setting up just beyond one of the bends. One cop stands practically in the road with a radar gun and pops you as you come around the curve. They are young cops and they appear to have some anger management issues. Expect a ticket and a lecture about "public safety."

The boys in blue are turning up the heat this season, so let's be careful out there.

That road has been a trap as long as I can remember.

Keep in mind it's also a residential area. People who live in the neighborhood may be telling the police to do something about speeding.
