Traps are set up spurratically. SR 70 is a straight road through nothing. The posted speed limit is 60 MPH and it is very difficult to obey. I was driving along at what I felt was a safe a prudent speed and I was clocked doing 75 MPH in my Mini Cooper. After my ticket I tried to do 60 MPH and it felt like a slow crawl. I found myself creeping back up to 75MPH over and over again. There were 10 State Troopers waiting for the unfortunate ones that got nabbed. I was pulled over with 7 other vehicles ranging from SUV's to an old lady driving a Camry.
