Vehicle that may catch a speeding motorist (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trap

I believe this is a double definition.

'vehicle' is the first definition.
(trap is a kind of vehicle)

'that may catch a speeding motorist' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for trap that I've seen before include "that may be sprung?" , "Golfing hazard" , "Confine" , "Cakehole (slang)" , "Driver's obstacle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
