tjmcgreevy,
From your post:
__________________________________________________________
Friday night, November 16, I was ticketed on Toltec Road in Eloy, AZ, for going 40 mph in a 25 mph area .There are absolutely no speed limit signs. I checked.
__________________________________________________________
.
Information obtained from going to Google,
1.typed in Arizona Statute title 28
2.clicked on the( 2nd website )on the first page (Arizona Revised Statutes )
3.which brought up the Arizona State Legislature.
4.Scholled down to Chapter 3,TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE REGULATION.
5.Then down to Article 6.
The sections for information which should provide you with the information on your traffic ticket are:
28-707 (Burden of Proof for Speeding Violations)
28-701 Prudent Speed)
28-701.02 (Excessive Speed Defined)
AND
#2 of 28-701.02 basically states that a driver CANNOT Exceed the POSTED speed limit in a business or residential district by more than twenty miles per hour, but if NO speed limit is posted, then the driver should not exceed forty-five miles per hour.
28-703.01. End of speed zone; SIGNS REQUIRED
Basically 28-703.01 states that a sign showing the maximum speed limit should be at where the speed limit begins. A sign stating "resume speed" or the new maximum speed limit should be stated where the speed limit ends. It is the responsibility of the director for state hwys.and local authorities when speed limits are altered by them (based on an engineering and traffic study) to erect the signs.

Speeding Ticket FAQ
website gives information on Discovery(getting the officer's notes) through the options available when a driver is cited for speeding.

A book written by a lawyer and published by NOLO and probably available at your local library would provide you with information from asking for the officers notes, to questioning the officer at trial (if he's required to appear), all the way to Appeal.
