Dude, be careful. Thanks to our pathetic governor (soon to be Homeland Security Chief Crappy Nappy), Arizona is the photo-radar capital of the world now. We have 42 mobile photo-radar vans across the state highways and another 100 fixed cameras. Many of the fixed cameras use sensors in the road to calculate your speed, thus your Valentine is useless. Although, I believe the fixed cameras are only in the metro areas of Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff (but watchout in Sedona as well).
The mobile vans are required to post a yellow sign at least 300 feet prior notifying of "photo enforcement zone". They can be difficult to see though since they are sitting on the ground, not up on a pole like normal signs. Your view may be blocked by other vehicles, especially big rigs.
The cameras will flash you if you're going > 10 MPH over the posted speed. Your best bet is to follow someone else a safe distance back and pay attention to brake lights and/or bright flashes. Good luck!
