This site (http://www.speedtrap.org/) is pretty accurate for my town. How about yours?

Well the list goes on and on and on for Salt Lake. If you list every street in town you'll eventually get something right:\

There is just too much information to absorb. I did look up my favorite speedtrap, which is on HW 40 in the Town of Empire, CO on the east side of Berthoud Pass. I bet there is a trap there 80% of the times you drive through day or night. Very lucrative business during ski season for that little hamlet. :thumdown:

Interesting site and most of the entries seem good. Unfortunately the information isn't terribly useful in it's current format. Overlay that on a Google map and you'd have something.

Right, in it's current form it's useless in urban areas. In rural areas it's uneven. It has both of the I-5 Red Bluff, CA traps (air and ground) and Hwy 36 out of Susanville, but doesn't have the perennial I-10 Ft. Stockton, TX or I-35 New Braunfels, TX traps which have been fixtures for decades.

Thanks for the link.... of course I went night to New Rome, OH.

It does seem to be accurate for the Wisconsin areas I'm familiar with. It's not the original post so much as the agree/disagree area that convinces me.

It does have Highway 6 going through Wellington UT.
That is a 24/7 speed trap, they are quite proud of it actually.

Wonder if you could hybrid that with Tom-Tom or some other navigational device...?

I have a story about radar detectors,

Traveling north on I-25 just passed Socorro, NM. My radar detector was silent, then I speed a bit to pass a trailer, and my unit went wild. Next thing I see a cop pull out of a ditch in front of me. He only turned on the gun to make sure I was over the limit.

He clocked me at 80 on a 65 zone. After that I got rid of my radar detector and bought a mobile cb to use on the road, more accurate. The trailers are always checking for speed traps and telling each other. I am surprised that drivers still use cb for short communications.

I got lucky and got a 30.00 ticket for not having my children wear a seatbelt in the rear seat, he gave me a warning for the speeding ticket. This was back in the late 90s.
