Mile 21-12 on Interstate 8 westbound
Speed limit changes from 75 to 65 mph. I was doing 65 according to my GPS and some guy passes me doing about 67, and HE got NAILED!
Limits are generous in AZ, but strictly enforced. The state is desperate for cash and photo radar has been quashed, so live bait pays the penalty.
I’ve never been thru that stretch without at least one car stopped by Hwy Patrol.

Yes, this has been a speed trap almost since I-8 was punched through Dome Mountain 40 years ago.
Used to be the highway patrol would frequently sit in the median just beyond the last curve at the bottom on the EASTBOUND side, too.
Problem on the westbound side is that there are not lots of warning signs that the speed limit is reduced ahead. Used to just be one sign announcing 65 mph. And they would nail you about 1 mile past that. And, if you were in the left lane and a semi-rig was in the right lane as you passed the speed limit sign, you would not see it at all.
