Driving at 35 for the approximately 4 or 5 miles it takes to get through Waldo takes about 45 seconds longer at 35 than at 40. I think they should have speeding cameras and catch everyone violating.

I also make many trips through Waldo to visit family in Jacksonville. All along 301, there are signs that warn you that the speed limit will change before it actually does. I have no problem slowing down in plenty of time to stay within the speed limit. But, I do think having a quota system is wrong and may tend to push law enforcement officers to be less than truthful about tickets they give out if not meeting the quota could cost them their livelihood. If I am speeding and get a ticket, then I deserve it. But if I am doing the speed limit and an officer says he's "clocked" me over the limit because he has to make quota, that's wrong and that's why the quota system has been made illegal in Florida.
