Yeah, the city traffic cops spend 99% of their time collecting money for the city and the auto insurance agencies by handing out ridiculous traffic tickets on roads that are set up with LOW speed limits (25 mph on a lot of them).

By the way, the road I'm talking about here in Vegas by my house is Tenaya. It is 2 oversized lanes on each side with a huge oversized space in the middle. All the homes on each side of the road are in gated communities...so there are no kids going to run out of their yards or anything.
In the summer it's 120 degrees, in the winter it's freezing. So there is literally no pedestrian traffic at all.

This road is bigger than most highways. It should be 45 to 50 mph speed limit. But it's 35 instead.
And I have to tell you, on a big empty road like that...you can find yourself doing 40 to 45 without even thinking about it.

And if it's near the end of the month...they will have two or three motorcycle cops hiding in the gated communities entrances giving out tickets like candy.
The do the same thing on Buffalo where it drops to 35mph between Charleston and Sahara. The hide in the entrances to the housing communites where you cant see them because of the walls around the houses. They were out there yesterday, 2 cops on motorcycles. I've seen them there often.
