Does not compute.
More then half of their enforcement is when there are no workers present, definitely all about worker safety.
Though i'll admit my bias, i got one of those 40,000 tickets going 11 over on Easter Monday. Really saved all those construction workers working the long weekend there.
To paraphrase Warren Buffet, If you put a police car on anyone's tail for 500 miles, they are gonna get a ticket.
That's why everyone hates Photo Radar, its the equivalent of following everyone until they eventually get caught. It does not target the dangerous drivers as it completely ignores the flow of traffic to target the every day driver.
Photo Radar is essentially just a driving tax, just instead of a annual bill you get them irregularly at random intervals. Maybe this year I'll get away with not paying any driving taxes, maybe next year I'll end up getting hit with 2 bills. And because of this it has absolutely zero affect on how anyone actually drives.
I don't know a single person in my life who doesn't get the occasional photo radar ticket who I wouldn't deem a struggler on the road. Maddening both to drive near and just to be in the same car as.
