Default Traffic speeds ever increasing!!

Once upon a time one would see speed traps set up in various locations around TV.
This past year it has been very obvious there have been significantly fewer/none.
As a result the speeds on the roadways have continued to increase....in many areas by more than 10 mph.

I have maintained in the past and still maintain there should be a separate unit of law enforcement that does nothing but enforce traffic laws. The unit(s) would be self funding via ticket revenues.

We all know enforcement works. School zones....our favorite little towns notorious for notorious speed traps, etc.

Why?

ENFORCEMENT!! Very lacking throughout TV.

The traffic violations and numerous (per day) accidents/near misses are the single most negative aspect of TV life style. NO ENFORCEMENT!
