I grew up in Sandy Springs. Some of the best driving roads in the metro area, especially in the parts South of Roswell Road, particularly on the West side stretching over towards I-75. I terrorized many a north side neighborhood in my foolish youth.

Do you drive your car "aggressively"? Maybe they could never quite catch you and this is their not so subtle hint to let you know they've heard reports of a BMW roaring through the street. I wouldn't be surprised if I found one of these on my street.

Wonder if they will get a ticket for parking that beside a fire hydrant?

Those roads look awesome for driving; glad to see you're possibly using them to their potential
Don't worry though. They put it right next to the entrance of your driveway, so you'll always have slowed down in time...idiots! I live in a rural area and sometimes choose to "breeze" the stop signs when I can see there's no one coming for a straight mile either way...now there's a bright, shiny, and XXL sign there a week after I got my e92 |

Atlanta is right at the foot of the Appalachians, so you get some pretty impressive terrain, especially on the north side of town. It's a shame the traffic is so bad inside the Perimeter -- the north side between 75 and 85 is just chock full of crazy-fun driving streets, none of which are probably worth exploring anymore thanks to growth and development.
- West Paces Ferry between Roswell Road and I-75 (extremely narrow, curvy as hell) - Habersham Road between West Wesley and Peachtree Battle (an insane downhill romp) - Glen Errol Road between Mt Vernon Hwy & Long Island Dr, then Long Island to Mt Paran - Lake Forest Dr from 285 south to Chastain (a real nail-biter -- straight as an arrow, but up and down like a roller coaster)

It would start blinking at 35 mph and then if you went over 40/45 it would flash blue lights which admittedly slowed me down the first time! Ironically i got a ticket the same week on the other side of town for going 10 mph over...didn't even think you could get pulled for that! Got a passport 8500 in the mail.

If you accelerate rather quickly they can't register your speed
