Before you plan your next trip take this as a warning: Arizona is not visitor friendly. The state has declared war on motorist. Just take a look at this site if you think I am kidding:
http://photoenforcement.azdps.gov/Cameras/
You will see more red bubbles than a foreclosure map in California, these red bubbles are camera locations. Arizona has launched full into 1984 by placing speed enforcement photo cameras every few miles. They have stationary cameras and cameras that they move around. If they wanted to reduce speed they would hire more Highway officers but their intention is to generate revenue.
Beware! You cannot travel though the State of Arizona without driving through a multitude of these sneaky little robot law enforcement devices.
From the DPS website:

"I really do think that this is a Brave New World type of situation. A 1984," Crump said. "And this really is the tip of the iceberg. This particular program may seem pretty benign, but we have license-plate readers, facial recognition, even using your cellphones to track just about every move you make. It's scary." Arizona Rep. Sam Crump
