I really can for about 20 feet.

Broadmore/Broadway? @ some school.
School zone maybe, did not say or charge more,it was 4:15pm.
Here school zone speeding is big $$$ fine, so I don't think so.
Speed limit enforced by camera.
NOPD Officer "signed" the ticket, not NOLA
I'm not local, but I'm there frequently.
I get the traffic engineering concept of speed limits vs. human reaction times, congestion, etc, but 26 to 0 vs 20 to 0 breaking time is negligible.


My issue is 20 mph is a trap limit and the section of road is bait. The only way to not get a ticket is to drive 15 and bump the gas to 20.

It's like the four-lane highway that jumps from 35 to 55 at the city limit, but he local PD is parked 50 yards in front of the first 55 sign.

It's only $75 but still. If it keeps the drinking water clean I'll pay it.

Thats a whole lot of rationalizing a well deserved speeding ticket.

I dont know if that works or not, but when you go 26 you are speeding. It sucks, yes, but I dont get the reason you think you should even worry about it.

It's posted though right? I mean, did you see a sign saying 20 and still chose to speed?
