As part of a nationwide analysis, the researchers at cheapcarinsurance.net generated a study that revealed the nine cities in Alabama with the most speed traps.
Coming in a clear first is Madison, Alabama with over 39 confirmed speed traps per 100,000 residents. The entire top nine is listed below.
1. Madison – 39.3
2. Decatur – 26.87
3. Auburn – 25.61
4. Montgomery – 22.85
5. Hoover – 22.59
6. Mobile – 15.39
7. Florence – 14.98
8. Huntsville – 14.50
9. Dothan 13.24
Although not on the list, Anniston’s intersection of Quintard Avenue and 22nd Street was deemed the top speed trap spot in the state. A street view of that intersection is pictured below.
CheapCarInsurance analyzed 15 years of driver-reported National Speed Trap Exchange data and determined viable speed traps by including only those speed traps that had more “yes” votes than “no” in order to ensure that they were not including any speed traps that were deemed “not a speed trap” by the NSTE community. For the “Most Driver-Confirmed Speed Traps Per State,” the site pulled the speed trap locations with the most “yes” votes from our data that we were able to effectively geotag that had at least 25 “yes” votes and fewer than five “no” votes.
