This is the first and last time that I will post in this forum. I live on a street in Agawam where drivers speed down at 60 to 70 mph; things have been taken out from mail boxes, to pets to human beings. My definition of a "speed trap": it is an area where the speed limit is manipulated so that it is one rate at one point and then immediately changes to a lower one without warning. That is a "speed trap," and I have been caught in several of those traveling across country (especially in small towns that need to enhance the coffers). As far as I know, Agawam has no "speed traps." What has been described here is merely enforcing the speed limit. Here's an idea: in stead of trying to locate all the places that the cops hang out, try obeying the law. I know that it sounds like I'm preaching, but don't be like a friend of mine. He was exceeding the speed limit (15MPH over) until he found out why the limit was what it was. A sharp curve in the road caused him to swerve. He hit a small child on a bicycle. The child was killed instantly. My friend lives with that every day. Speeding is not a joke.
