Speed trap: SB Royal York, N of the Queensway, Toronto
Cars: I only saw one marked cruiser, which was weird but the constable seemed to be running a radar (no tripod).
Time: 9pm on a Sunday
Speed limit: 40
Note: We REALLY need variable speed limits to avoid these abuses of the legal system.
Edit: To keep this within rules.
What kind of a man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.
In a perfect world everyone gets tested to their ability matched to the vehicle dynamics and we have a constant changing computer guided traffic flow where the capable can drive to their capabilities, the old and feeble or those driving *EDIT* boxes are forced to keep it real...alas...that's a hundred years away...
As motor vehicle operators, we're supposed to keep track of the changing road conditions and that would include the speed limits. If you can't see a flashing light, how can you see a stressed out soccer mom weaving in traffic with a minivan, yapping away on her cell phone?

Avenue Road in Toronto between Eglinton and Lawrence has a 50 km/h posted limit with "40 km/h when flashing."FiReSTaRT wrote:Variable speed limits work quite well in other parts of the world, including the GTA. I think it was Eastern Sauga where I've seen one of those "40 when flashing, otherwise 50 or 60" signs and they're also all over Calgary.
Texas and Montana have variable day/night speed limits. Montana's interstate limits are 75 mph daytime, 70 mph night; Texas, depending on the area, is usually 70-80 mph daytime, and 65-70 mph night. Montana actually had its safest period of driving when they had no numerical posted speed limit during the daytime on interstates and rural highways, just "reasonable and prudent." People had to start paying attention and using their brains. What a concept...
I-10 in West Texas has the highest speed limit on the continent (80 MPH).
