This one’s a doozy. The speed limit is not posted for miles. I didn’t know what the speed limit was (65 mph) and had no idea I was "speeding" when I got pulled over. CHP radio cars hide on the Avenue M on-ramp to the northbound side of Route 14. On Saturdays you may see a whole row of them waiting to pounce. They just "estimate" the speed of a random car without radar–which means they can grossly exaggerate how fast you were going and you can’t do a thing about it. Even worse, the ticket doesn’t provide instructions (much less a phone number) for settling the thing by mail so you don’t have to go to court. You may even be facing a Misdemeanor for speeding! My guess is you’re not safe in either direction on Route 14 until you’re out of the Lancaster-Palmdale city limits. Definitely watch yourself between Avenue A (the L.A. county line) and Avenue S (closer to L.A. proper).
