There a couple of ways to handle "speed traps".
1. The state law would have to change to have the high majority of the revenue not go to the local jurisdiction but to the state. The state could then dispense the revenue how they see fit: safety, schools, etc.
This would eliminate the incentive to write tickets for revenue and only issue tickets for safety reasons.
2. Have a written policy that speeding tickets could only be written in areas that indicate a large number of vehicular crashes that have' speeding' as the primary or contributing factors as a cause. OR documented community complaints for speeding in that area.
