Has been a County revenue source for years, decades even. If law enforcements concern was for motorist safety then they would have done a study and corrected the road conditions in this area that lead to such an increase in speed that sooo many tickets are issued in this particular section of Hwy-3N and S. Maybe during the recent multi-million dollar rebuild of the overpass and surrounding road surfaces just south of Trigger. One idea as to why the speed of traffic goes up here: both N and S Hwy-3 have a third lane added that ends shortly after Trigger and the opportunity to pass the multi-mile under-the-speed limit driver in the left lane will soon end.
