    I live near an intersection. Drivers will ten second horn blast because someone won't crawl up the arse of the car in front of them just so horatio can mount the kerb and get into a sliplane they can't exit until the lights change anyway

    So what i'm saying is you're underselling the stupidity

    How dare they put an authoritarian surveillance system (speed camera) near the school. This is an unfair tax on normal people. Its not about safety, it is about control. - most of my city until the province outlawed speed cameras entirely.

    You are right, but there were also several studies done that proved the speed cameras lowered speeda significantly, even after the camera had been relocated.

    Lets not let perfect be the enemy of good. Those cameras reduced speeds and generated revenue for the city that was specifically dedicated to making streets safer, including bollards, lane narrowing and speed humps. The removal of the cameras both made the streets more dangerous, and cut funding for real safety improvements. All because speeders were getting caught speeding and considered that unfair.
