brought forth from the murky depths:

An old car painted like a police car sitting prominently by the curve
may work.


Heh heh heh. There's a wooden cutout (like Christmas lawn reindeer)
caricature of a cop car out on westbound 17 in California between
Los Gatos and Santa Cruz which slows people down for awhile. You come
flying around a corner on a nice road with great curves and THERE IT
IS, all of a sudden! Instantly, you grok the reason for all the black
tire marks on the pavement on the end of that curve.


They used to have one of those near Livermore, on old US 50 (or 40, or
whatever the heck it was). People learned to ignore it, and then
motorcycle cops started using it for a hiding place.
