That is because when you check the calibration on radar (every day) they allow plus or minus 1mph.
Since we are talking about 1/2 mph it is within the guidelines.
I think if they had someone running stationary radar and you were over 20mph (19.5) then you would stand the risk of being cited.
I was certified on MPH and Genesis radar operation and our units only read in 1mph increments..............newer units might register speed in fractions, but I don't know for sure.
If the police had a fast unmarked golf cart with radar they could have a field day out here.
