A new poll puts Mississauga right up there in the worst cities for speed traps, in North America.

The online poll was conducted by the U.S. based National Motorists Associaton.

Mississauga came in fifth place for worst speed trap cities with populations over 50-thousand. Windsor was third, while Hamilton came in fourth.

A Spokesperson for the association says the poll is meant to show the abuse against motorists. They believe speed traps don't improve highways safety and they don't slow drivers down.

As far as OPP are concerned, they don't use speed traps, although officers may focus efforts on problem areas.
