Wait, what? The fines just only started now?!
FFFFFFFFFFF. I could have been driving like a normal person instead of slowing to 5 KM/H over through these stupid things.
Traffic enforcement cameras have and always will be a cash grab. They use a facade of safety when it's all about revenue. There's no responsibility on the driver of the vehicle. They're also put in places where the speed limits are set lower than the normal flow of traffic. These cause traffic snarls and make the roadway less safe.
Speed does not cause collisions - differential in speed between vehicles is what creates problems. You adjust speed limits closer to the normal flow of traffic (85% percentile speed) and you reduce that differential, thus reducing the risk of traffic collisions. The cameras do nothing to solve the problem.
