A "Speed Trap" is a location where law enforcement officers monitor vehicle speeds to catch drivers exceeding the speed limit. These areas often use radar or laser technology to measure speed and may include visible signs warning of speed limits. The goal is to promote road safety and reduce accidents caused by speeding. Speed traps are commonly found in areas with a history of speeding violations, such as near schools or residential neighborhoods. They can also be set up during special enforcement campaigns. Drivers caught speeding may face fines or penalties, which vary by jurisdiction and the severity of the offense.
