Around here is seems mostly about deterrence. One of the roads I travel dropped from 45 to 35 a while back and the sheriffs and HP frequently set up on it. Also, there is a convenient outhouse at the fishing access area. Once your outside of residential areas with lower limits there seldom are speed traps. I have had cops flash their headlights as a reminder. Part of it is law enforcement in the rural areas is spread thin and they have more worthwhile things to handle. otoh, the parking meter vultures have no sense of humor.
