The CHP can legally use radar BUT the legislative has never appropriated
money to buy them any. However, the CHP also provides police services
to rural communities and they can buy radar units for the CHP in their
area if they so chose and some have. Also, posting of those "radar
enforced" signs is needed for radar to be legally used. So the
signs may be there just in case. Or it could mean that the CHP in
that area really have radar.
