Around where I live, there's a section of highway that goes from 55mph to 45mph and cops park an unoccupied cruiser in a store parking lot on weekends. I fall for it every time. And yes, it is in such a location that you do have time to conform to the new speed limit.

That is exactly the way to do it. They do that in Knoxville, TN on the loop around town and it always acts as a speed bump because sometimes a cop is there and sometimes not. It effectively slows traffic to a safe speed without any hide and seek games. Where I am now though in GA they like to hide and set speed traps.
