Speed Traps in Need for Speed: Heat are activities to beat a series of speed targets that can be found across Palm City.
There are a total of 45 Speed Traps across Palm City and are unlocked once the player has reached REP LVL 3.
They are highlighted by an icon of a car passing a radar wave. Nearby Speed Traps will be shown on the player's mini-map and can be triggered at either day or night, but its location isn't recorded on their map unless they pass near that Speed Trap.
Driving through a Speed Trap will record the player's current rate of speed past that camera and compare it to its target speeds. Beating each of the three star rating targets will reward the player with bank and reputation.
Beating all three star rating targets will allow the player to earn additional bank and reputation by beating their personal best speed through a Speed Trap.
Each star rating target has a different reward for the player upon beating it:
