Default CHP with radar along 280

I just came back from The City to the South Bay along I-280S, and I saw multiple CHP units "hidden behind bushes" along the way. The CHP cars are not really hidden, because they are in plain view, although they are parked near bushes. They all have radar guns pointing at on coming traffic. What surprised me was that there were several of them, all along the freeway. I do not normally go to The City on week-nights, so I don't know if this is a normal every-night thing, but I was certainly glad that I was not speeding tonight. Be careful out there.

Its a daily thing lately. It got to a point where I don't even go past 65mph anymore on 280.

its hard not to speed espcially when theres barely no cars on the freeway at all...i try my best not to speed so much...i just stay in the middle lane or so and use my cruise contrrol...I still dont depend on my radar detector...
