Don’t speed and you won’t care where the speed traps are.

Actually not true.

A city that wants to encourage SAFE driving and minimize accidents will have large and clearly visible speed limit signs which will gradually step down from highway speed to urban speed.

A city that WANTS people to speed and therefore generate revenue will have poorly marked speed limit signs and speeds that drop down from 65 to 30 in a quarter mile or so.

The latter is the definition of a "speed trap" and again, it's designed to trick you into speeding, not warn you against it.
