I get alot of speeding tickets

I think its bullshit it makes me so angry and no I'm not a bad driver or even someone that really speeds, yet I get 3 or 4 tickets a year.
I travel for work therefore I drive way more than most people. I travel about 1/6 of what a long haul trucker does.
And my speeding tickets are always baloney. Today I got one going 48 in a 30 on a highway. If you miss the tiny sign that changes the speed from 45 to 30 by one block a cop using radar is waiting behind a bush to snag you.
I think that the way tiny cities use speed traps to pad their pockets should be illegal. Speedlimit postings should be easily noticeable perhaps by flashing light or change in road design like I have seen in Europe when its such a drastic change of speed on a highway in the middle of no where.
A mile or so prior to where I got the tickets the flashing light sign said 55 and thats the last one that I saw.

I commute and drive about 25000 a year
I use waze (gps on phone) which tells you the speed limit as you navigate

@pdockal I have a Garmin Sat-Nav I live in the UK even though it's a fairly new Sat Nav the speed limits are not up to date on my Sat Nav, it's sometimes difficult to stay within the law and the speed limit on un-known roads.
