The main road by my house is two lanes in each direction with a very wide median, bike lanes on each side of the road, sidewalks on each side and well set back from the bike lanes. Yet the speed limit is 35. Everyone goes 45-50. A neighbor complained and they raised it to 45. Another neighbor complained and they lowered back to 35. In 15 yrs here the only two accidents on this road were teenagers texting and running off the road, nothing speed related. Yet the Phoenix PD has a bike cop out here a few times a week, usually in the morning, popping anyone going 10 or more over. And several nights a week we have drag racers and crotch rockets going warp speed down the road in the middle of the night. It's very loud and the cops are never around then, only during business hours when they can get the low-hanging fruit.

Oh, and you can do the online traffic school and get out of the fine and points, but it costs as much as the fine. And if you go to court, you waive your right to traffic school. Effin tax collectors.
