Two of the most notorious Speed Traps on 301, headed south from I-10 towards Gainesville (cut over t0 Gainesville at Waldo). The Waldo police essentially funded themselves by terrorizing drivers. Lawtey had this sign up for 20 years. I believe Waldo police department was disbanded and the county sheriff is now responsible for law and order...which has improved since the 10 man police department with 8 cruisers was ousted. Lawtey recently negotiated with AAA to have the sign removed. The idea of "ticket-quotas" is repulsive but is very wide-spread. Even in a Progressive utopia such as Fairfax County, the County Board starts worrying if ticket revenues fall.
