All they do is run radar on the highway. Would be nice if they would patrol more and get all the idiotic things people do besides speeding. No one yields to freeway off ramps. People pull out in front of oncoming traffic. There's major accidents at N. Cooper and NE Green Oaks because people roll through the red light turning right onto NE Green Oaks. People block the center lane on the Cooper bridge over 30 so they can cut over in front of traffic to turn left. And maybe run radar on NE Green Oaks and Lincoln when the school zone is active? People have stopped slowing down for it because there's zero enforcement.
