West Ande East approach to the town. Steep hill into town both directions. Camera right by 45 mph speed signs. No chance to go at this speed without applying brakes.

I drove through Star Valley (sorry, don’t even remember the town) 10 days ago. Yesterday, I received a $210 (that alone is a joke) ticket claiming I was driving 59 mph (like everyone else) in a 45mph zone. I live in Minnesota. I was driving from Phoenix to New Mexico that day. All I remember is that several small towns post 45 mph speed signs shortly after a 55 mph speed sign, which is shortly after the 70mph speed limit. This approach was from a steep hill. Without aggressively applying the brakes, it is impossible to go from 70 mph to 45 mph at the point that the 45mph sign is located. I suspected a speed trap after receiving the ticket and verified it by going to this website. It will be a cold day in h*ll before I pay this fine and I’ll never go through this town again.

After spending quite a bit of time on the internet, I determined that speeding fines are a large portion of the revenue this town of 1500+ depends on.
