    There needs to actually be Traffic Police cars on the road to pull people over for this. Over-reliance on cameras does nothing but generate more revenue at a reduced cost.

    Do you want to cause change, or make money? I am sure there is evidence that cameras do reduce injuries and deaths at specific accident "blackspots", but I welcome evidence that overall, cameras are better at reducing crime than actual Police personnel, out on the roads, policing.

  • The two are related - the more you can eliminate speeding, RLJ and yellow box infringements through cameras, the more you free up police time to concentrate on other things - mobile phone use, missing plates, other crappy driving. The revenue is a useful side benefit (and I say this as someone who has been caught by speed cameras in the past).
