I use those speed trackers for 2 things:

1) to check if my speedo is accurate
2) to see how fast I can go before I hit the mark.... :P

they are there to determine whether or not a cop should be posted on that road during certain times/days. it records the data. trick is to drive by them real slow, to lower the average thus reducing chance of them putting a cop on that road. not sure if that works but thats what i do when i see one, you ******** that go 99+ mph by them really ruin it for yourself and others. bastards

whatever dude, every time one of those pops up around here the next month theres a new cop on the road and no new speed limit what so ever. yeah i drive a mustang, i drive fast when im on the highway not when im in my neighboorhood where little kids play. im sure they use the data they get for speed limits too but it sure as hell doesnt look like it around here. just to backup what ive been saying, had one of those speed recorders on my street a while back and this guy i work with speeds about 20mph over the limit. this is in a 30mph neighborhood which they DO NOT raise the speed limit to for a reason. a month later they started posting a cop at the beginning of the road, the dude i work with got a ticket for over 200$. again, this happened on another road in my area. no need for you to bust a nut over this, just the way it is in my area. btw there are 4 cops that live on my road, i know how it works dude.

hahah, so maybe it is different, i know they wont raise the limit in rural roads, and i dont speed in the city, but im just sayin what i say, and there has been limits raised around here from the same situation, maybe the cops just arent consistant

I live in northern IL... I see those from time to time. My mom and I both like to romp on it and get it to flash red mph at us!! Like if it says 30mph limit, and you go more than 5 over it flashes red with your speed


I was cruisin down this back road one day, and my radar detector went off, so of course I slow down. It went off with a weak signal, and it got stonger. About 4 blocks later there was one of those little doodles.


They are just funny to me.

What is not funny, are those new white vans that have a speed checker and a camera in them! Supposed to be for construction sites but I saw it on this random 45mph road that usually I go 70+ down, but that day I had my mom's nissan and was going 5 under, luckily!
