There are a few places OPP and Hamilton police like to sit with the radar.

Another juicy spot is the one you mention at Maddaugh Rd just after the road narrows to 2 lanes and drops from 80 km/h to 60, and the trees give them some cover on the sideroad. Just south of Morriston is another one, where there's another speed limit change.
Now I remember:
Last summer, I was driving my friend to Point Peele. We were gonna use the 401 but halfway in we got forced off due to closure. Now we were on old Highway 3 (Elgin County Road 3, City of Chatham-Kent Road 3, Essex County Road 34).
I was going 96 kph in an 80 kph zone as usual. (I more or less go 20% over in good weather.)
Then, I saw an OPP cruiser, sitting right under a tree next to the EB lanes.
That caught me off guard.
Ps: I also saw a CK police pull a motorcyclist earlier on too.
