Advice on speed limit!!
 

I am here to know how you can alert yourself from police car speed traps, speed cameras, and other road way hazards. To tell you the fact, I want to visit all areas around my town and I don't have much knowledge about the speed limit there. So please help me to solve this problem. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

For starters, I do not think speed traps qualify as "other road hazards".
Your post kind of confuses me. You want to learn about speeding and such? What town do you live in?
I'm afraid this has nothing to do with FT, nevertheless: Welcome!

His question is very clear..."how you can alert yourself"

He wants to know about tech to warn of radar, cameras etc.

In South Korea, the in-car navigation systems warn you as you approach the fixed-location speed cameras on the highways. As soon as you pass them, a chime goes off to give you the "all clear" so you can speed up again!

If you can't follow speed limits from signs, perhaps you should consider finding an alternative form of primary transport.

If all you can do is be rude and sarcastic maybe you should go post online somehwere..oh wait...never mind...so confusing...

Not being rude and sarcastic at all. There are far too many poor motorists on the roads, responsible for a significant number of deaths and injuries every year.

If you can't keep your concentration up enough to see what the speed limit is, and keep within that speed limit without glueing your eyes to the speedometer, then you should seriously consider whether you are capable of driving without posing a risk to yourself and others.

I have seen, first hand, the results of this far too many times for it to be a throwaway comment.

I don't think anyone is being rude here :)

Advise on speed limits: watch the signs and stick to them.

More importantly, drive according to the traffic. If 95% of cars are driving 10 mph over the limit in heavy traffic, it might be wise to do the same. Follow the herd, don't draw attention to yourself.

Speed traps are road hazards on roads where the speed limit is set so that the vast majority of people are speeding, i.e. most US interstate highways.

In general I try never to be the fastest driver on the road; always have someone in your vicinity (in front of you) going faster than you are. In moderate traffic this means that cars should be passing you on a regular basis; for every 10 cars you pass, at least one should pass you. If you're not being passed by at least a few other cars, slow down. Of course this does not work against photo radar.

My radar detector in the NE US was my eyes looking for brake lights ahead. That has the added advantage of alerting you to other road hazards as well. I have not purchased a detector, since the best detector is almost worthless against laser and instant on radar.

The S. Korean gadgets that alert you to speed cameras also tell you the speed limit (I think). I imagine that the equivalent UK devices do the same.

Ditto this. The mothership for my company is in ATL and once while visiting, my boss and I were going to lunch with me driving...a stop light turned yellow in a 50mph zone and I would have had to decelerate pretty fast to make it so I went thru.
Stopped by officer on the other side of the light...not for speeding but because I'd (barely) run the light.
He takes my Oregon license back to patrol car and when he comes back:
"Mr ********, the state of Oregon requires that I detain you; it's one of three states that require this" (note that I am not a felon, deadbeat dad, or anything else)...my boss said I turned really pale....but fortunately the officer continued with "but I'm going to forget that part and just give you a ticket"...I now drive much more carefully when I'm outside of Oregon..also now when I visit the mothership I let the boss drive to lunch :)

thanks for the heads up in Oregon, anybody know the other two states

the officer told me at the time...but I was in shock...visualizing myself on a southern chain gang or being tossed in the drunk tank or any other jail cliche you can think of

I am kind of confused about this. Why would the state of Oregon want a cop to detain you while running a light in ATL?

I've mulled over several possibilities (BTW this was over 2 years ago):
* the officer didn't have a clue what he was talking about...but I presumed that he had data of some kind from my license check...
* an opportunity to trap or locatenon-felons...deadbeat dads, etc.
* the officer was just having a good time with an out-of-state boy
* maybe my name is similar to someone else (terror watch list?) who needed to be detained

I have a friend who is a Oregon State trooper and he'd never heard of such a thing but perhaps that's because it only applies out of OR state...

bottom line: I don't have a clue
I don't get stopped or questioned or detained by foreign immigration, US immigration, getting visas for Russia & Australia; Had a Top Secret clearance when I was in the Navy
I'm clean (I hope)

It may be to do with whether your home state will enforce tickets from Georgia. If not, Georgia may decide to detain you until you pay the ticket.

Anyway, if you can't go the speed limit at least follow the flow of traffic.

That's just about the only situation that makes any sense whatever, other than the officer just being incorrect or playing a mind game of some sort. The only situation that I'm aware of where one state can cause you to be arrested in another state is when they have a felony arrest warrant on file for you. And in that case, the state issuing the warrant has to agree to come get you and pay to transport you back, so it's not even done for all felonies.

I know that years ago So. Carolina was a " pay or stay" state which means you pay tour ticket at the time of writing. Don't know if it is still like that or not. Don't really wanna find out. But it may be that GA has the same policy for out of state drivers. They certainly don't for GA licensed drivers.

Anyone who's driven more than a couple of thousand miles in their life will tell you that the speed limit is not always obvious as in posted in a clear, oft repeated sign.
I've seen a great number of places where a change of speed limit is not properly signed. These can include, but are not limited to, crossroads between roads of different speed classifications, the same road changing classification (e.g. single to dual carriageway in the UK), start/end of urban areas where urban speed limits apply (e.g. street lighting, proximity to an "out-of-town" supermarket- something for which I've had my only speeding ticket ever!), invalid signs that have been left over from now-complete roadworks, conflicting signs, illegible ones, and so on.
Whoever claims to know the exact speed limit at any given point of any given road should not be concerned with driving. Instead, they should employ a flying carpet for their transport needs. :D
Having said all that, I am not sure I know of any GPS device that can tell you that, either, so a radar detector and/or fixed camera database may be a good idea indeed.
