It is not frequently that you hear of a town increasing the speed limit, but in Altadena California, officer and board member took radar guns to an ulterior level and raised the speed limit 5 miles per hour on a rural road. At the same time, radar gun patrols by law enforcement will increase, making sure the new law is enforced and abided by.
The story has been the same in other communities. City council raises law enforcement numbers and also the presence of police radar guns, in turn for raising speed limits. The objective is that commuters and motorists will not deem these heavily patrolled areas as speed traps. Although the current 30 mph speed limit signs on the avenue say "radar enforced," the California Highway Patrol cannot use their radar to enforce the speed limit until there is an up-to-date survey of traffic.
Radar is important for a unit to employ, whether a speed limit change is in effect or not.
