Speed Traps in all states!
 
This is for real.....in much detail. Even to the description of the
*unmarked cars used for lasering and ticketing in all states.*
*
This is interesting. click on what ever state you want and then
*it will show the city or towns you want to view, click on which one you
*want to view see if you know any of them.*
*
You can see them in the cities in the*U.S.*or*Canada. Very interesting.
*
SPEED TRAPS - NO JOKE...CHECK IT OUT!
*
I had no idea this was available to everyone.
Do you know the speedtraps in your hometown?

This is really really accurate! I looked at some of the towns around mine, some of which are pretty small and they all had posts for all the spots I know where cops like to sit. Pretty cool stuff to read

The escort 9500ix radar detector uploads these traps and chimes u in when u drive by one. The passport is a must have if you have a lead foot.

It might be good for a small town, but I got a ticket in The Bronx back in late February so I tried to find that location...

Let's put it this way, everything is entered randomly, no alphabetized list, no maps, many of them are on there more than once but written by the contibutor slightly different...

A complete, utter, total FAIL. At least until they can make it easier to locate stuff.

The problem of the "Roadside Revenue Service" is easily solved when folks with their smartphones download and use, emphasis on USE, the app Trapster. Even if folks aren't speeding, the reporting of live speed traps is great information for those of us with heavy feet. The Trapster/high quality radar detector combo is no joke. I can't tell you how much money it saved me on a trip from Omaha, NE to JAX, FL and back.

roadside revenue service..nice! , if we eliminated them, would there be fewer deaths, accidents, close calls, etc?

g8rh8r1 05-18-2010 08:22 AM

Not eliminate, I think maybe you think I hate them or something, not the case. Their job is important, but some, not all, but some state and local governments over-use them to increase revenue. An example: 28 mile "construction" zone on I-95 in Whitfiled and Glynn county GA, been there since Nov 2005. Drove through there last week and there was only maybe a quarter mile of legit construction, the rest of the stretch is untouched save the orange barrels for 27.75 miles rigorously controlled by sherrif/state patrol/city police. I counted 17 cops on that stretch, every last one had someone pulled over. Minimum fine is $100. I'm just saying it's a crappy way for local governments to increase revenue is all.

Besides, if you have to hide behind a bush/sign/whatever, then you're doing something shady. If you want me to believe that you are there for the common good and "safety" for the folks on the road, then sit right out in the open. If you have to hide and play the "gotcha game", then it's hard for me to believe you are doing anything but increasing revenue for your town.

I'm from brooklyn. I only been livin down south 3 years. What I can tell you is this. A radar is not going to help on city streets, period. To many false alarms due to all the equipment and police combined in one small area. Also tall buildings help create reception issues on many kinds of devices including radars. You have signals bouncing around everywhere. As far as the city goes. Its one giant speed trap you might as well list every block as a speed trap... There's a cop on almost every corner. U gotta head upstate or shoot out to LI to get a little driving fun. Or track it up in englishtown NJ.
That's why I hadda get outta NY. Its a f**k%n police state n I hate it now. Crime is down but so is the life of NYC. Besides the criminals in new york are more honest than the police.

Or just get Trapster for iPhone (free app) and use along with your current detector...
