Agree 100% Checked out Miami-Dade and my daughter was stopped on 12 st, but the cop only cited her for no registration. It was in the glove box, but she was so upset she couldn't find it. Lucky for her she wasn't driving the XF, she was driving the '97 C230 MB.

Hmmm...I'll question the accuracy, at least in my area. Yes, they mention the interchange of the 241 & 133 Toll Roads, which I drive almost daily, and maybe 25% of the time I see the patrol car sitting right where they describe.

But they fail to mention the 241 Toll Road at Antonio Parkway, where perhaps 75% of the time I see a patrol car sitting in the median under the bridge. They also mention the
Trabuco Canyon/Wagon Wheel location and how patrol cars are parked on the side of the road catching speeders coming down a long hill. Well, that long hill ends right at my street and I have never once seen a patrol car sitting on the side of the road there. Odd. Heck, I can see that stretch of road from my backyard, looking down the hill!!!

No mention at all of the entire length of Oso Parkway either. The speed limit changes 3 times in 4 miles yet the surrounding topography, housing, etc remain pretty constant. People get pulled over seemingly every 1/4 mile some days!

Looks like I need to add these to the list to help improve accuracy in my area.

Cool site, thanks for the link.

Well if you look up Gardner, Ma. it is very accurate. My buddy gives out more than 200 tickets a month for people doing over 75 in a 55 zone. This is a stretch of highway that has seen 20 deaths over the years.
Look at State P.D. not city.

Very cool, I used to live in Naperville and traveled I-88 & 55 everyday for 5 years - web site is right on the money. Downers Grove; Lisle and Hinsdale are also right on. Now that I am here in the Shenandoah Valley they really only patrol I-81 - but there is a lot of them and here in VA - anything over +10 (I think it's 10) is considered reckless endangerment and good morning you just got yourself a $1,200 ticket. At least I am not sitting in traffic for 4-6 hours a day - Fly blind & live free - no radar detector.

One guy wrote "all of Pasadena is a speed trap" I know one thing "old town", the tourist attraction, has cops all over the place and sobriety checkpoints coming' and going" I would imagine anywhere you find youth and booze would be a big generator of revenue.

Oops ... I sped thru speed traps 1-4 today about 1pm. I'm sure I would have been in trouble in the XF, but something about a dark green Honda CR-V must scream SLOWWWWWW. Good thing they don't know about my 146hp & 0-60 in 9.9sec capability. I'm going to set the world on fire in my CR-V!!!
