The Biggest Speed Traps In The Country

If you're planning to take a little trip during the kids' Spring Break, you might want think about slowing down...especially in certain areas.  The National Motorists Association estimates that speeding tickets are a $4.5 to $6 billion industry. And one of the best ways to get that ticket is in a "speed trap". There are some cities that have far more speed traps than others. CNBC listed the top 10 cities for speed traps and 3 of them are in Texas:



1. Houston, Texas - 373
2. Austin, Texas - 189
3. Las Vegas, Nevada - 187
4. Colorado Springs, Colorado - 186
5. Jacksonville, Florida - 175
6. Denver, Colorado - 165
7. Orlando, Florida - 165
8. Dallas, Texas - 156
9. Chicago, Illinois - 153
10. Los Angeles, California - 151

Course, if you travel Bellevue Road in North Bossier Parish, you better slow down there as well - construction now has the speed limit at 25mph from Highway 80 all the way up to Winnfield Road - they're writing tickets there nearly every day.
