You're talking about two different things.
1. Increasing visibility requirements of photo radar which is an active, visible deterrent from speeding. This is a good thing, especially in school zones, playground zones, and construction sites where we want people to go slower.
2. Dramatic scaling back of the automated camera enforcement program to only school zones, playground zones, and construction sites (plus 'special case zones' that municipalities must make a good argument for). Also a good thing because it's pretty clear -- especially in places like Edmonton -- that its use became excessive and predatory, serving the government purse through revenue generation as a primary function and not safety which is what it was supposed to be used for.
