It’s insane the lengths that some people will go to save a few seconds on their commute, while also endangering others.

    Speed cameras do prevent speeding, they are used to trap in some cases, but almost always they are sign posted, which causes people to slow down.

      That sounds like the signs have a correlated impact more than the cameras having a causal relationship.

        The signs work because people are scared of speeding cameras.

        If you put up signs everywhere without backing them up with cameras people will obviously ignore them.

        The cameras are doing the real work, the signs are just for people new to the area.

          There’s not much point arguing with these people my guy. There’s no rational thinking.
