Tatum Road near Lincoln Road

Paradise Valley, ArizonaMay 18, 20071 Comments

Red light photo radar Plus speed trap photo radar on the same intersection at the same time, 24 hours a day. Very easy to speed over the 40 mph limit as one descends down eastbound Lincoln to cross Tatum. I tried to fight the ticket in PV court but the judge sided with the police even though there was no one near the intersection to be in danger (evidenced in the photo). My insurance went up $600 a year for three years, all for going 50 mph in the intersection.

I agree. I just received a citation for this intersection in the mail for going 51 in the posted 40 zone but I never go 10 or more over the speed limit anyway, usually between 7 and 8 over. I also had my aunt with me, and I go slower with someone in the car anyway. I seriously doubt I was going 11 over the speed limit but if there is a hill before the light, maybe I was and didn't catch it in time. I would like to fight it but know I'd lose based on how the system works, and I'm not going to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a lawyer either, can't really afford it. Some legal systems rely on this fact all so they can make money out of us poor, decent folk. So basically I'm out $250. Thanks a lot Paradise Valley!
