Road safety is bad mmkay
Sure sure, the speed cam after the slope in the woods is for safety, mhm.
I mean I don't know how you could think it wouldn't be. Well signposted camera will help you pay more attention to your speed on the slope, it's woods so presumably animals could run out at you.
If you can't see a bright fucking yellow speed camera, and haven't been paying attention to the ten dozen signed, then that's 100% on you.
They are hidden here, not yellow bright.
It's clearly bright yellow.
Besides, you shouldn't have to be threatened with a speed camera to just stay under the bloody speed limit. It's literally a crime not to, and besides that it's reckless and dangerous.
Idiots that speed in cars deserve a special kind of hell where they're tortured by all the children their kind have murdered.
Sucks to be whenever you are I guess. I'm used to that way they work where I live.

In the US every state I've seen has to put multiple warning signs out, starting about a mile out. It's 100% obvious.
And here is not US.
Well. Don't keep us waiting. What country is surprising people with speed cameras?
I think whole D-A-CH? At least switzerland and germany.
Another stereotype busted for me. I really thought it's an ex-Soviet thing. "Скажи-ка, дядя, ведь недаром в кустах ты прячешься с радаром?"
Probably you should be breaking on the hill? Regardless of if your foot's on the gas or you're just letting the slope do the work, you're still speeding which is a hazard.
Yeah, I'm sure it also racks up some revenue too. Why not get a few more bucks while keeping the careless on their toes?
60 instead of 50 (because steep slope) is speeding?
Yep, that's an 8.5% mortality increase on freeways and 2.8% increase on other roads. Better keep the brake down.
I mean, i agree, but that one was really a trap. Steep slope out of the woods, hidden camera and then 100's of meters straight unobstructed road.
cameras do NOT make the roads safer. it's a revenue stream based off ripping off it's citizens. if anything everyone slams on their brakes when they see one causing more accidents.
Why on Earth is this unfounded argument getting upvoted so heavily? Objectively the science says that it reduces injuries and deaths. Per the linked Cochrane systematic review of 35 studies:
People on the Internet will just upvote the most confidently incorrect shit as long as it has enough confidence behind it and it vaguely aligns with their preconceptions, I swear.
I think the sentiment against them stems from the fact that there are ways to reduce speeds without feeling like they're being used as a revenue stream.
Personally I like when there are warning signs saying "Speed camera in use ahead" since it has the effect of slowing down traffic and not feeling like a "gotcha" moment.
Maybe just drive the speed limit?
yes, because no one has ever gotten a ticket or in trouble for something they didn't do.
no one said not to follow the law, but there are always exception. nothing is ever just black and white.
Better argument than "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear"
Except they do make it safer and because there's always tonnes of signs around them you don't get the brake slamming. They act as a deterrent. Plus accidents at lower speeds are inherently less dangerous.
Mobile speed traps, however, are a definite revenue boost.
they do not post camera signs in US

It only seems to be since the yanks woke up.
They litterally demonstrably do. Either actually engage your brain and look things up instead of parroting nonsense or take your bullshit back to reddit.

Do you have a source for your belief that speed cameras make the road significantly safer?

Nice of you to take that out of context.
They know they're objectively beneficial, and now they just want to firmly measure to what extent that is. They nonetheless express zero doubt that it's positive based on the existing evidence.
