Getting caught speeding in the city and county of Boulder, Colorado, is about to get very expense, if the City Council's plan to increase traffic fines gets final approval.
If you're caught speeding 4 to 19 mph over the posted speed limit, you'll pay $500 (That FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!) and if you are speeding at 20 mph or more over the posted speed limit, you'll be slapped with a $1,000 ticket.
THAT'S ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for doing 50 in a 30 mph zone (which is the way Boulderites usually drive.) The current rates are $100 and $300. City administrators hope the new fines will make motorists slow done.
I'd advise everyone to avoid the People's Republic of Boulder at all times . . .
