Waldo Florida Spped Trap

What is perceived as a problem is easily solved by observing the speed limits. An excellent idea, anywhere, for all RV'ers And, makes the 301 corridor safer for all pedestrians and drivers.

According to Wikipedia

"Speed limits were originally enforced by manually timing or "clocking" vehicles travelling through "speed traps" defined between two fixed landmarks along a roadway that were a known distance apart."

Stay within 5 above and you will be fine. Enforcing the speed limit I wouldn't call a "speed trap." When I was a LEO, it was easy to get someone driving 95-100 on a freeway posted 70 MPH. I usually gave at least 10 over if not 15 which is generous I think.

Where's Waldo??

Sorry, that was bad, but I couldn't resist!

Not sure how people can call it a "speed trap" when there are HUGE (8' x 16') signs starting several miles BEFORE you get to the Waldo speed signs saying the "speed is strictly enforced in Waldo for safety of their citizens". They do have ZERO tolerance for speed, so obey the signs.

Also this does not apply to just Waldo, as there are 3 towns there on US 301 that all have strict speed enforcement.

When I go down US 301 I don't Stop, or SPEND a dime in Waldo.

Waldo has been right there for several years. He's covering up a sort of half arse crown moulding lap joint in my living room.

I read or saw on news that one of the issues in Waldo is the speed limit changes several times in a short distance making it easy to catch drivers unaware.

The speed limit changes 6 times......FDLE is investigating the chief of police for ordering 12 tickets per shift per officer.....

I see nothing wrong with LEO giving speeding tickets. Call it whatever you want, the LAW says "Speedlimit XX mph" Anything OVER that XX is breaking the law. I wish LEO would enforce even 5 mph over!.... everywhere! Once word got out there as a national crackdown ... no exceptions ... you better believe EVERYONE would slow down and pay attention! Everyone would be mad as HE!! but at least speeding tickets would be distributed equally for everyone!
