Rapid City PD often sets up roadblocks in the northbound lane of La Crosse St., just north of the railroad tracks. You can't see the roadblock til you crest the small hill at the railroad tracks, and by then it's too late to turn off. They park a mobile blood testing lab in the Sam's Club parking lot.
This South Dakota roadblock was added to the Roadblock Registry in October 2007.
The Rapid City Police Department sometimes sets up in the area known to locals as "The Gap." This area is on West Main St., roughly between West Blvd. and Jackson Blvd. They ask questions about things they have no business knowing (what you've been doing, where you're coming from, where you're going, etc.) The last time I encountered this roadblock, they also had a twin roadblock set up nearby on Omaha St., roughly in front of the parking lot of the frisbee golf course. The last time I encountered this roadblock was on the first weekend of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. However, they set up the roadblock on West Main St. at least a couple times a year.
This South Dakota roadblock was added to the Roadblock Registry in May 2003.
