Locust Avenue near State Route 72
Police often park in big lot at SW corner of Locust and 72 and trap speeders going either direction. The limit is 25 and the road is hilly so you often need to brake to keep within the limit. I am told that tickets are the only source of revenue for the village. There is little other crime so the ploice are quite diligent about enforcing the limit. I have never been ticketed but know of people who have been for less that 5 over the 25 mph limit.

I am pretty sure no one was ticketed for anything under 12 over the limit. People probably said this because they are embarrased, angry, or just didn't realize their speed when their speed was detected.
As for the income an entity might receive; you are wrong about that also. Municipalities only receive a small fraction of the fine which is an even smaller fraction of propery tax income.
