xvp -- road to laughlin is fast, but you best go slow

They have expanded the ticket area and criteria for speeding on US 95 near Searchlight Nevada. The zone is about 4 miles before searchlight town center and about 15 miles after. They can and will get you for going 75 mph on the ridiculously low speed for a wide open flat 65 mile per hour interstate. A cop ambushed me from about 1 mile away , on a slight downhill my rental corolla just hit 76... and he was up my ass, pulled me over, and ticketed me.

best wishes...Tom

Has happened to me twice, also once on the way into Laughlin off River Road, got a ticket coasting downhill by power plant.

Speed limit is mostly 65 except for the area you mentioned before/after
Searchlight. If you drive 75 in the 65 zone you will be ticketed. How is
that difficult to understand?

On a related note, Reno PD got a "grant" (which means free money according
to them) to go after speeders, starting 2/28. Be careful in general, but
I-80 east around milepost 5 to 10 seems to be a favorite, as they catch
those Californians who have the gaul to try to come to Reno to spend money.
