    They used to do this on some turnpike’s. You’d get a paper punch ticket on entrance with the current time, every exit would calculate the amount of time you spent on the road and determine your average speed. If you were certain number of miles over they would fine you right at the exit.

    But it turns out that people end up controlling whether laws happen or not. And your average person doesn’t want the eye of sauron casting judgment on you unless it is truly dangerous. Speed zones around schools are for the children and enforcing speed limits and work zones really does save lives. Local people don’t have a problem with speed checks on a turnpike because almost everyone on the turnpike is from out of state.
