No, I think you're dead on 928ram.

I have long thought that state troopers actually driving the highways and looking for reckless drivers would do more good than radar traps. Then again, its much easier to park in a turnabout and point your arm out the window than to actively look for dangerous drivers.

I've noticed that here in Illinois, the turnabouts are placed in places where you can't see them until the last minute--like at the bottom of a hill or on a curve--not where it is most convienient for salt trucks to turn around.
