If you read the statutes, there's more to it than just school zones and neighborhoods. That said, you are right... there's no need to do 80 in a 65. This AZ City/Eloy thing does sound like a bit over...

I know you're angry and I know the road you're talking about (exit 200??) which heads only for Az City.... does Eloy plan to move the camera around?....is this stretch of road indeed the most dangerous in Eloy?....do they have more than one cam...

I love the way some of these threads get off on tangents. (Not saying its not important discussion, just a little off of OPs topic). Anyway, what I believe OP is saying, being somewhat familiar with the area, is that although the land where the photo radar van was placed is technically in the City of Eloy, it is on the main road that leads in and out of the UNINCORPORATED area of AZ City instead of a road that is closer to the...
