From what I can find, speeding ranks in the Top 5-10 reasons for fatal car accidents. Most of the other reasons I've seen can pretty much be lumped into "distracted driving". So since it looks like speeding and distracted driving are two of the biggest causes of vehicle accidents (fatal or not), then it's something the cops should very much be looking into.
Too bad giving someone a speeding ticket really doesn't seem to work on slowing folks down anyhow.
As for my 'favorite' police fishing trap, there's a single block playground zone leaving Elbow Tr going East on 58th Ave SW. It drops to 30, and the like nabbing folks there. I usually see them there once or twice a month.
