A South Tampa Speed Trap

What is the correct speed on Henderson Ave Tampa?
The correct speed to travel on Henderson Blvd is not clear.  There are seven speed signs between Kennedy and Manhattan that post 40 MPH as the speed limit.  There is, however, a sign facing southbound traffic at Church and Henderson that says 35 MPH. The sign facing the opposite direction says 40 MPH. The Tampa police are very much aware of that. That is why they set up radar on Saturday and Sunday mornings at Church and Henderson because they know people are confused about the actual speed. This is a real shame.

It seems the Tampa police have simply found a way to screw with people and raise revenue for the city. This kind of shit never happened when Dick Greco was Mayor. Hopefully, we will return to law abiding citizens not being shaken down by punk cops trying to raise their quota. MPO Tim McGinnes fits that description
