speed traps
Areas of especially vigorous enforcement of highway speed limits, often involving marked cars or abrupt changes of posted velocities. While argued as legitimate controls on speeding, these traps, which may endure for decades, are viewed by motorists as harassment or money-makers for local sheriffs. They also figure prominently in road movies.
