If speed cameras are less biased than humans when issuing tickets, I see them as a fairer method of speed enforcement. Also safer for BIPOC individuals to receive a ticket in the mail, as opposed to a roadside traffic stop.
I don't disagree, but I also think speeding is the least dangerous thing that happens on the road.
Where are the cameras catching tailgaters, people who don't signal, people cutting others off, people cruising in the left and not passing, people blatantly running stop signs, people texting or doing makeup?
These behaviors are all far more dangerous.
Speeding is a psychological problem. You can't take a four-lane, straight, flat, state highwayswith few cross-roads, and all of a sudden it's a 20MPH zone because there's a high school on it (and an elevated crosswalk at that), then throw a camera on it and make a money generating machine.
I mean, you can...Rhode Island does it. At least in the poorer neighborhoods. They don't do it in the nice neighborhoods (well, most of them...I guess Blackstone Blvd is like the one exception). But it's not really doing anything but pissing people off.
Maybe just...don't build the highschool on a four-lane, flat, straight state highway with few cross-roads? Ain't nobody living in walking distance of it anyway.
This is a camera on a single lane road in the UK. They should be driving on the left.
You sure showed them...
