police running deceptive speed traps.

Here's the thing with speed traps.

Turns out that after people have been fined a few times, they suddenly do feel that 20mph roads are 20mph roads.

Almost as if they knew the road was 20mph all along, but decided to ignore the clearly marked speed limit (and often the speed limit warning on their satnav) because they hadn't faced any consequences for it before.
