On a recent Friday we were out at Tsuma-as school doing speedwatch. Normally, on speedwatch, about one percent of the cars that pass our location are "speeding" (within the limits of the margins we give them). On our "high speed" locations, like Stamp and Beaver Creek, it's maybe two percent.
On Friday, checking cars eastbound, *five* percent of the cars going through the school zone were speeding. After break, we did westbound. Since it was later, there were fewer cars, but *fifteen* percent of them were speeding!
So, on Monday, we tried again. For about the first fifteen minutes, we were thinking that Friday had been an anomaly: we weren't getting many speeders. And then it fell into the same pattern that we saw on Friday. By the end of shift we had about five percent speeders: a total of thirty-five (including the only motorcycle for which I've ever been able to get the full plate number :-)
I'd say Tsuma-as needs us.
