What's with the speed traps at Freehold Mall? Letter

Asbury Park Press

Shoppers entering the Freehold Mall are also entering a speed trap. As you enter the mall there is a traffic sign indicating a 25 mph speed limit and about a half of a block ahead there is a traffic cop with a speed gun.

In recent weeks I have been at the mall numerous times and the traffic cops have been there each time. I didn’t get a ticket but I witnessed many others getting them. With drivers speeding on Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway, it seems really cheap and sneaky that these traffic cops are located at the entrance and exit of the mall. What about the mall management that knows about this and is not making a complaint.

Speed traps are usually the result of an accident-prone area and I have never seen an accident on the entrance or exit.
