The argument for the placing of a speed camera is the location has to have had a history of serious and or fatal collisions. In accepting the location has dangers the onus should be on engineering out the danger, not on revenue generation with a camera.

Cameras do not and cannot stop a collision. Most drivers know just how cynical the scamera partnerships are. They are in it for job creation though a revenue stream that is sold as being in the public interest. It is not. The public interest is best served by removing the danger.

I can take you to one camera site that is justified by the injuries to my best mans parents at that location. However their injuries were caused by the sitting of the camera and the KSIs have gone up for this location since the camera was installed.
