Chaotic isn't just quirky. This is clearly lawful good, given the fact that she's inducing people to, you know, follow the law.
Chaotic good would be if she only did it to cars worth more than $20,000 because "the threat of a ticket puts too much stress on people with so little money that a speeding ticket might mean they can't make rent."
Nah, it's chaotic. A lawful person might ask the cops to set up a speed trap there, as it's their responsibility. She's out there getting drivers to follow the law in her own way.
Chaotic motivation and lawful action are not mutually exclusive, in my experience. Lawful good is believing that there is a right code to live by - "the law" - be that an actual legal system, or a creed.
Chaotic good, on the other hand, is still good, but it's a very personal, sometimes selfish good. They do not have a book or spoken history to point to and say "this is what's right." But they know it when they see it.
That's how I've always explained it to people, after having it explained to me as that 🤷
I think people are too strict on defining alignment. It makes things less fun. For example, I played a Paladin who had a personality that was somewhat selfish, but warshipped a lawful good god. This required his behavior to be lawful good even if it wasn't what he wanted to be doing. His personality was more true neutral or maybe neutral good. What's the alignment of the character?
.... That's either neutral or chaotic. Maybe even true neutral? They don't respect the law. They get something from the law. That is not lawful good, IMO
The method is neither chaotic nor lawful. The motivation is. If she wants to enforce the speed limit, she is lawful. If she doesn't care about the speed limit and just wants the cars to slow down, she's chaotic.
