State Route 21
Enforcement is made with higher speed limit clearly visible on way out of town headed North. Immediately in front of line of vision, one can see 40MPH just ahead (about 50 yards). They choose this point just before the 40MPH sign to enforce 30MPH which is in effect in the village proper. Upon leaving the village,it is a rural area in the countryside area. Enforcement personnel are courteous almost to the point of embarrassment. One leaves knowing revenue (and quotas?) are the issue not safety!

State Route 21 in Andover has two 30 MPH signs and then a 40 about 100 yards up from the last 30. The officer who was the friendliest ive ever been stopped by used the excuse of the school and playgrounds being there as to why the strick enforcement. I believe it is just an easy money maker for the village. I actually went to court and the judge was almost apoligetic and only fined me $50 with the New York State tax (surcharge) of $85.
We were victimized by this trap in 2006. It was (is?) a classic textbook example of something set up to produce revenue (only). As the previous comment states, the personnel seemed "courteous to the point of embarrassment". We now avoid going through this town.
