I'll give people a tip here. Other than getting cited for over the max. speed law if you are cited e.g. 35 in a 25, check the California Road System maps to see if the street is classified as a "local" street. If not, that street requires a survey if radar/Lidar is used. If the street is local you can't do much, if not ask for the survey from the city or county, whoever "owns" the street. If they don't want to give you the whole report get the data sheet and copies of the hand written data sheets that have the speed survey data for your street that were used as part of the report. Most cities report every 5 years. Many cities have the complete report and all the data online. There are many ways cities mess this process up and you can claim the survey invalid and therefore the officer can not testify in court. If that is the case you should be able to get the ticket dismissed.
If you can assist in telling me how I could get that information for a particular road, I'd be grateful. When I google the term you provide, I get this:

How does one "check the California Road Systems map"?
