My passenger and I were amazed at the number of patrol cars we counted. The cameras we saw were not on 17 specific but on route to Ash Fork. They might have been implemented by local authorities (and I understand that under the new law these authorities will still be allowed to use the devices). The bottom line - I experienced speed enforcement efforts that were well beyond what I've ever experienced before and in my humble opinion, these efforts felt obtrusive and heavy handed. I am all for maintaining safe roads and, if in fact, that is why these cameras (and patrol units) were being employed, it's important to note that there are highly effective, less obtrusive means of accomplishing this goal.

Last time I checked the only spped enforcement cameras on the freeway system were on the 101 Loop. I also know that DPS does not have that many officers enforcing speed along that stretch of interstate. There are no speed cameras on I-17 between Phoenix and the turn off to Ash Fork.
