I'm all for more efficient enforcement. Can't catch everyone - but for instance today -
I was coming past the Boone Gate on Paradise on my way to the golf cart bridge from my end of the neighborhood. I was behind three other golf carts. The speed limit after the intersection is posted as 15mph. We were all going around 17-18mph. And the guy directly in front of me shifted over to the other side of the road and passed the other TWO golf carts - very obviously going well past 25mph.
If there had been a police car at the fire department, the postal parking lot, or the rec center parking lot, they could've pulled that guy over and given him a ticket for a few different violations.
But there is never a police car at these locations, unless they're called to handle an existing problem.

So you are proposing there should be an officer parked at every fire station, every postal station, and every rec center to ticket vehicles exceeding the speed limit? How many additional cars would that be and who is going to pay for them?
Also, should they ticket people going 3mph over the posted limit or only the "real" speeders?
I'm surprised you didn't mention how much damage was done (other than your feelings) or how bad the injuries were.
