Cameras or unmarked police cars ?
A speed camera allows the RTA to send a demand for money to the owner of the speeding number plate.
Speed cameras catch the unwary drivers passing through who don't know the speed camera is there, who don't notice the speed camera signs because they are looking at the road.
The habitual speeders use sat/navs to warn them to slow down at a certain spot.
To catch these anti-social morons you need real Police in UNMARKED cars.
Police in cars can do a lot more than detect speeding, they are the eyes and ears of the community and while on patrol will detect all sorts of anti-social behaviour.
Fixed speed cameras just sit there gouging money from average drivers.
But then speed cameras don't need to be trained, supplied with uniforms, equipment, and vehicles, nor do speed cameras take holidays, sickdays, maternity leave, or have superanuation.
Speed cameras make money,.... real police cost money.
That's why there are more speed cameras and why there has been a drop in Highway patrol numbers.
This was in The Sunday Telegraph 6/1/08

Was this alledged speeding driver caught by a fixed speed camera?
By all means leave the cameras at Beverly Hills but put up more 60 signs and the extra flashing lights at Edgbaston St.
