What exactly defines a speedtrap? Good question. MarketWatch defines a speed trap as an area where a speed limit is set lower “than a road’s safest average rate of travel.” These roads are monitored and tracked by police looking to strictly enforce the speed limit in order to collect revenue. 30% of Americans have been caught in a speed trap. The three states with the most speed traps are Delaware, Maryland and Tennessee. North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska are the three states with the fewest speed traps.
