I love the "lip service" last paragraph by the law enforcement agencies.......
It is a complete lie. The purpose for speed traps is not to get people to slow down, it is to generate revenue for the state.
Governments want people to speed. They generate a huge amount of revenue from speeding tickets. If they truly just didn't want people to speed, the solution is quite simple....put speed limiters on all vehicles. Make it so cars can not go above, say, 68mph. That wouldn't do anything for the 53 in a 35 zone, but for the majority of interstate speeding, the problem would be solved.
If it was really about safety, this is what would happen, but we all know it is not. Modern vehicles can safely travel at speeds well in excess of most posted speed limits (interstate), but there is too much money to be made by big brother.
