This warning marker is ridiculous. A 'speed trap'? If you mean a fixed, permanent camera (unmanned) then yes - you can speed on through and not worry about a ticket because they have no mailing address for you. But a handheld radar (manned) that you are pulled over for? Of course you can be fined. And if you were breaking the law then you should take the ticket and attempt to pay it (or take it as a souvenir if you feel like it, I'm sure it wouldn't follow you to the border). Obviously don't pay the policeman directly, as this is a bribe and contributes to the corruption problem in Bolivia.

In this particular location the OP was obviously referring to a handheld radar, since no permanent camera exists here. But since police can (and do) move around there is no reason to mark this spot as a permanent warning marker for other overlanders.
