So, just noticed a sign entering the island that shows the speed limit of 25mph and below that a sign that says photo enforced. This one here, although of course, Google Maps doesnt have that pictured yet.
Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

Whats odd is that OLSS is not on the Countys list of speed camera locations. So it literally cannot have photo enforcement of the speed limit.

Now of course, I'm not advocating ripping through the island at 100 plus, or even 40. But I do hate when govt lies.
Well, I have to ask those who speed:
Why are you managing your life and your time so poorly that it's necessary for you to speed?
A lot of persons like to self righteously declare "I'm a safe driver!".
Really? Dodged any speeding bullets lately, superman?
You're only as safe as the least competent driver on the road around you at any given time.
Like most social problems, the disease is ignored. All of the focus is on symptoms. What has to change is how people live their lives, not which areas have what speed limits.
Personal vehicles are anything BUT 'freedom'. A depreciating asset that sits there 90% of the time doing nothing. Loan payments, traffic jams, accidents, fatalities, license, registration, inspection, plates, insurance, gas, oil, antifreeze, belts, tires, parking tickets, speeding tickets, noise pollution, air and water pollution (road runoff from tire friction is something you drink every day and don't think about). And of course, a police force to monitor it all. Roads, bridges, traffic lights, signs. And above all, those wonderful trips to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The price of gasoline is an illusion. To get the true price, you'd have to factor in the cost of assuring a supply of oil from overseas. (Asphalt is also made with oil, as I'm sure you know. ) Two trillion dollars a year are spent on the military, primarily to protect the supply of oil, and your taxes reflect this fact.
Are personal vehicles necessary? Not at all. It makes far more sense, in every regard, to bring things to people rather than force every person to chase around after the things. People can and should live, work, play and go to school all within easy walking distance. Rail and canals are vastly cheaper per ton than trucks could ever be.
When one Japanese city was experiencing an increase in drunk driving, it used common sense. All establishments that sold alcohol were relocated to an isolated part of the city, closed off from passenger vehicle traffic. The only way in or out was by train.
Simply changing where people are, and how they get resources, is the solution to your annoyance at speed limit enforcement.
Your mileage may vary (pun intended) but you might find this playlist of various clips interesting:
Yes, glhs837. I do understand that your focus is on government greed and dishonesty. The cure, though, is not to address symptoms, but the disease itself. When you can walk to every resource you might require, when bulk necessities come in by efficient, economical, clean methods, your speeding issue vanishes.
