As a result of an upcoming traffic enforcement legal case, I would like to poll readers on the following question.
Please feel free to click on the “join the forum discussion“ link at the bottom of this post to add your comment after you’ve voted. Your opinions are very valuable.
Actually, your comment is vital to this poll, so that each vote may be validated by an actual person’s comment or explanation. If you have previously voted, but not left a comment, please do so. Ultimately, any vote without a corresponding comment will be deleted.
Thanks for your input. -STA Admin

Okay, the poll has been removed, because only one person has made a comment or posted to the forum about their answer. Without an explanation for your answer, and a record of what user voted for what, the numbers are kind of useless. Go to the forum topic on this question if you’d like to voice your opinion.
The question was:
If you saw a person like this, standing beside the road, waving to people, and holding this sign, could/would you think this “sign” is an “official traffic-control device”?

Today, I turned on my scanner just to see how much, if any, traffic enforcement was going on in Lakeway.
As soon as I turned it on, I heard, “737 Traffic.” That means that a cop is pulling someone over for a traffic infraction. I continued to listen. “737 in the 600 block of RR 620, Texas (car license number).”
The dispatcher soon came back with the results. “737, Tag returns a 2000 Oldsmobile, expires October 2008, to (my Sister-in-Law’s name), clear, no 29.” I couldn’t believe it! She’s always had a heavy foot; but, I’ve always told her that this area is a real stickler for speeding infractions. The “clear, no 29″ part just means that she didn’t have any outstanding tickets, warrants, etc.
Anyway, she actually got away with only a warning this time. She was lucky. Most often, they’ll cite you for at least one infraction. When I talked to her later on the phone, she said, “Where’s that Speed Trap guy when you need him!” :-)
Just another example of how much traffic enforcement goes on in Lakeway, TX. Be careful out there; and, be looking for me holding my sign. I’m really surprised how many folks see me and email me a short message of thanks, or post a comment in the forum. Thanks for the support!
