In my area 100% of the revnue generated by speed cameras went to roadway safety improvements like speed bumps, lane narrowing bollards, and improved crossings. People still protested them and our provincial leader (who claims to be against big government over reach) stepped in and told every municipality that they cannot make these decisions on their own and banned them. Something about people thinking they were unfair, unsafe etc. All bullshit excuses, people are selfish will trade a better travel time against safety.
The less of these the better. They’re just there to help shitty third parties make passive income.
So the problem are the third parties, not the cameras.
