Speed limit sign : 35 + School : 25 when children present - when does it actually apply ?
Motorcycle cops with Lidar : Bollinger & Miller pulling over people at 9:00 AM for doing >25. Streets are empty of kids. School closed at 8:30am - what the fvck ... ?
Not only that but they set up a double trap, to catch folks again about .5 mi after the first one.
Added points 55&56 to my Google Radar Trap map - see my sig.

"Around children:
Within 500 feet of a school while children are outside or crossing the street, the speed limit is 25 mph, unless otherwise posted. Also, if the school ground has no fence and children are outside, never drive faster than 25 mph. Always drive more carefully near schools, playgrounds, parks, and residential areas because children may suddenly dart into the street.
Near schools, look for:
Bicyclists and pedestrians.
School safety patrols or school crossing guards and obey their directions. For the crossing guard's safety, allow him or her to safely get to the side of the road before driving ahead.
Stopped school buses and children crossing the street. Some school buses flash yellow lights when preparing to stop and let children off the bus. The yellow flashing lights warn you to slow down and prepare to stop. When the bus flashes red lights (located at the top front and back of the bus), you must stop from either direction until the children are safely across the street and the lights stop flashing. The law requires you to remain stopped as long as the red lights are flashing (VC §22454). If you fail to stop, you may be fined up to $1000 and your driving privilege could be suspended for one year. If the school bus is on the other side of a divided or multilane (two or more lanes in each direction) highway, you do not need to stop."

Note that police often do not understand the law either - they are paid to write tickets - period. They let you and the courts figure it out, and hope you just roll over so they can collect the cash.<ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_zone">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_zone</a</li></ul>

For your map...
Can you add one more spot...
San Jose Motorbike Police, with Laser...
At Taylor and Spring street...(Total speed trap location, and they are hidden behind trees...)
(You should challenge your ticket, other may disagree but it is mostly a money generation task that they are out for)
Here is a link to the location...<ul><li><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&om=1&msa=0&ll=37. 34413,-121.907966&spn=0.001879,0.003463&z=19& msid=115686919962296860900.000435fa82ca4d39f20e4"> http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en

Map updated...
There were a lot of blue icons missing for some reason. So I went through all of them to make sure the blue icons were there. Now all of the markers are present and accounted for.
