BB 5/26/16

Good afternoon Phoenix! I trust everyone has their holiday plans made. If you’re traveling this weekend, be extra careful.

Here’s a list of the top 5 worst states for speeding:
• Vermont: Worst speed trap city: Burlington. Most notorious speed trap: Highway 12, near Woodstock. Total speed traps per 100,000 people: 52.1.
• New Hampshire: Worst speed trap city: Concord. Most notorious speed trap: NH 106, by the Laconia-Gilford Bypass. Total speed traps per 100,000 residents: 37.6. If you’re headed to Lake Winnipesaukee, you’ll cross right through the worst speed trap in the state with the second most per capita of any state in the union.
• Michigan: Worst speed trap city: Dearborn Heights (second worst in the nation). Most notorious speed trap: Plymouth Rd and Middle Belt Rd, Livonia. Total speed traps per 100,000 residents: 36.
• Delaware: Worst speed trap city: Dover. Most notorious speed trap: James St and Highland Ave, Newport. Total speed traps per 100,000 residents: 32.3.
• Oklahoma: Worst speed trap city: Moore. Most notorious speed trap: US 312 at the Arkansas border. Total speed traps per 100,000 residents: 30.7. The state’s worst speed trap is located literally a couple hundred feet from the Arkansas border, which is blatant targeting of out of staters.


The rest of the states rounding out the top 10, are: Rhode Island, Louisiana, Illinois, West Virginia, and Colorado. 


The state where you’re least likely to encounter a speed trap? Alaska, having only 9.9 speed traps per 100,000 residents.

Finally, if you’re traveling to Indianapolis to take in the Indy 500 – be forewarned. Indiana ranks 31st on the list. Worst speed trap city: Greenwood (south side suburb of Indy). Most notorious speed trap: US 41, through Terre Haute. Total speed traps per 100,000 residents: 19.5. Sounds safer, but Indiana State Police will be out in full force this weekend to cover the I-465 area that goes around Indianapolis to get to the track.

Don’t have your holiday ruined by a high cost traffic ticket, or even worse, an accident. Have fun and be safe.
