Flinters take on this picture he drew of Cawlie."Ever see those signs, "Speed limits enforced by aircraft"? I always was curious how that was done. Did the aircraft swoop down and catch you? Nah, that's silly, there's no way some officer could suddenly swoop down and pounce on my c-
*KATHUMP*
Uh oh. Seems I've got an angry gryphon on my roof. Um, I probably should pull over now."
Seriously though, in an anthro world, with flying species, I would imagine traffic enforcement would be done differently. Instead of having to spend a couple hundred dollars an hour on an aircraft, fuel and pilot, one would instead only have to pay the flying anthro and give them a food allowance for "fuel".
Police would not focus on speeding except in extreme cases. Instead, those patrolling in the sky would look out for aggressive and unsafe driving as well as poorly secured loads and radio their observations to officers on the ground.

Actually. That has been one problem with current self driving cars, they follow ALL traffic laws. That is one thing that manufacturers and advocates are bringing up with state governments. Speed limits are going to have to be realistic and not for revenue generation. (Like how I get pulled over in MN for driving with ND plates.)
For example, the speed limit on the I-494 in Minneapolis is 60 mph. The REAL flow of traffic is 70-90 mph depending on time of day and location and I've driven past HP cars doing 75, which was the flow speed at the time. A self driving car driving on there at 60 would be a huge safety hazard. Speed limits will have to reflect the actual capabilities of the road and not some arbitrary limit set at the statehouse.
