Did you mean Canada Rd. and
Jefferson? A moto-cop hangs out there on Jefferson, out of sight until you are into the intersection. A t-intersection with 3-way stop signs.
Canada Rd & Jefferson Ave, Woodside
Other traps:
Portola Rd & Sand Hill Rd--got pulled over there once turning right. The right turn lane from Portola has a stop sign that you can't see until you've made the turn.
Portola Rd & San Hill Rd, Woodside
Alpine Rd & Portola Rd--hundreds of tickets given out over the years. Sheriff car parks on Portola Rd near the gas station. A t-intersection with 3-way stop signs.
Alpine Rd. & Portola Rd, Portola Valley
