Sweet!
It has been proven that 85 percent or more will drive a safe speed absent any speed limits. Speed limits are kept artificially low to increase revenue. Just like the cities that put in red light cameras, they have been caught lowering the seconds between yellow and red to increase revenue
We don't need all these laws. It is all false propaganda based on the fears of the ignorant and is a windfall for our cities at our expense. Then they use the money to further harass us.

i read an article in one of the car mags several years ago about how to fight a speeding ticked based on a rule the feds set on how states set speed limits. Basically the rule says they must set speed limits based on average speed of drivers on that section of road prior to limits being set. If the signs were posted without benefit of that study, they are posted unlawfully and cannot be enforced.
In other words, what Tony said. Drivers will drive at a safe speed regardless of signs. I did a cursory search to find that rule, but was unsuccessful. Wish I had saved the mag.
Another study showed that all the signs near intersections, actually caused accidents. When all signs near an intersection were removed, drivers behaved more carefully and accidents were reduced. The study was very small due to the difficulty of getting municipalities to allow the removal of the signs.
but it proved again that common sense will reign.
Unfortunately, the 10 to 15% of drivers who refuse to drive carefully will never bother using common sense. Like the corolla or other compact car who rides the bumper of my F250 thinking it will cause me to speed up!

There is a law suit going on right now here in FL over this. They dropped the yellow light 2 seconds faster at a few of these intersections. It is so obvious that all of this is just to generate revenue. The government has bankrupted the cities so it gets put on the backs of the poor schmuck driving to work !!

A traffic stop ticket is a citation issued by a law enforcement officer when a driver is pulled over for a suspected violation of traffic laws, such as speeding, running a red light, or failing to obey a traffic sign or signal. The ticket will include details of the violation and the fine amount, as well as instructions on how to pay or contest the ticket. If you receive a traffic stop ticket, you may have the option to pay the fine, attend traffic school, or contest the ticket in court. The specific options and consequences of a traffic stop ticket will vary depending on the jurisdiction.
