It's called "speedtrap.org."

It was developed by the National Motorists Association eight years ago to bring awareness to traffic enforcement, but it might also just save you from getting a ticket.

"Do you have your license, insurance and registration handy?"

Who among us hasn't heard those infamous words?

But now there's a website that could help you avoid this dilemma.

"Speedtrap.org" allows people like you and me to post speed trap locations we know of.

It lists speed traps all across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

"Basically our definition of a speed trap, is any road where speed limits would be artificially set, and where enforcement is strictly done for revenue rather than safety," says National Motorists Association Development Director, Bonnie Sesolak.

By that definition, Bowling Green Police say they don't have any speed traps.

"There's a common misperception out there that we have a quota, or there's a certain amount of tickets we need to write, says Officer Jason Scott. " That's not it at all. The areas we hit are high complaint areas, high traffic areas, where accidents occur, and that's the ones we try to take care of," he added.

In fact, BGPD actually lists on its website where traffic officers will be posted.

"Under the Spot-A-Cop program, you can see where we're gonna be out working traffic, whether it be for speeding, running red lights, or running stop signs. We post it on our website, so it's really no secret about it," says Officer Barry Pruitt.

Sesolak adds, "We've had police officers contact us saying they like our site, they're happy about it, it's good information. And we've had the opposite as well, but of course we don't succumb to any pressure from any law enforcement agency."

But by posting possible police locations, isn't "speedtrap.org" actually encouraging speeding?

"No, not at all", claims Sesolak.

" I mean it just brings awareness to how speed limits are set, how they should be set, and how traffic enforcement is used," Sesolak adds.

And Bowling Green PD has no problem with "speedtrap.org."

"Writing' tickets isn't our goal," says Officer Scott.

"Just keepin' the streets safer is our goal. So if people think that these are speed traps and it makes 'em slow down goin' through these areas, then our job is done. They're doin' our job for us," added Scott.

"Speedtrap.org is about to do an even better job posting speed traps. The National Motorists Association plans to roll out a new website the end of May.

They say it will be more user-friendly, with mapping and GPS capabilities.
