Waunakee, Wisconsin, United States (AHN) – The National Motorists Association has named two cities from each U.S. state and Canadian province as the worst speed traps. A “worst overall” and a “worst under 100,000 population” winner from each state and province was identified.

For Canada, worst overall were Calgary, Alberta; Vancouver, British Columbia; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Moncton, New Brunswick; St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador; Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; Toronto, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec, and Saskatoon in Saskatchewan.

For the Canadians provinces, only New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have the same cities for the worst overall and worst under 100K picks.

Similar to Canada’s situation, some of the worst speed cities in the U.S. were the state capitals. The list includes Little Rock, AR; Atlanta, GA; Honolulu, HI, and Boston MA.

Among the American states where the worst overall was not the capital city were Anchorage, AK; Chicago, IL; Portland, ME: Houston, TX; Las Vegas, NV; New York, NY, and Los Angeles, CA.

The NMA said it came out with the list in time for the Labor Day holiday to help North American travelers avoid getting traffic tickets, which delay and dampen vacation plans of many Americans and Canadians.

The list was based on the count of specific speed trap zones in American and Canadian cities. The complete roster of more than 60,000 speed trap locations is available in the National Speed Trap Exchange website, www.speedtrap.org.
