Low flying planes can clock your speed. It is done in New Jersey
on the Garden State Parkway, where helicopters are used. (There is
a sign posted stating that helicpoters are used). In the trap area
there are usually white lines across two points on the road, the helicoter
times you between these two points.

When ever I see white lines across a highway i slow down. One on I-95
in Pennsylvania, I saw white lines and in the distance I saw a patrol car.
My radar detector did not go off, so I assume the patrol man was using
a VASCAR device and using the lines as guides.

Two radar detection points: 

I got stoped on NJ Turnpike because I was tailed by a patrol car
without him using Radar. (To make matters worse some places use
unmarked cars for the tailing tactic.) The road was empty so he
was able to keep a far distance away.

Some states are using a radar that pulses off and on. The radar
turns on when you are close to the trap not giving you enough time 
to slow down.
