How to Obtain Radar Speed Surveys
Radar speed surveys record information about the speed of street travelers over a certain amount of time. In addition, they prevent police officers from using speed traps to increase their ticket numbers. They even help the city to determine the best posting speed for an area. If you recently received a ticket, you may want to look at the speed survey for that area.

Contact the Traffic Engineering Division of the Public Works Department in the town or county you want to find the radar speed survey. If you cannot find the information for the Traffic Engineering Division, contact the front desk at your Public Works Department and ask for a transfer to the appropriate department. Tell the Traffic Engineering Division official what street you want the radar speed survey for so you do not go through hours of work to find out it sits on county, rather than city, property.
