Motorway Speed Cameras

Perhaps if people didn't know where the cameras are, they'd be more likely to stick to the speed limit all the time.

Plus if the speed limit is temporarily reduce, they can whack you with a huge fine. Re Top Gear Steve Harley story http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/t...ve-pop-5044579 So it'll pay to keep to the limit

Not following. I'm arguing that they're more effective if you don't know where they are.

But if you missed the sign, it wouldn't make a difference if the speed camera was visible or not as you wouldn't know what the limit was anyway.

Probably cost. If you can get the same impact with just a few hidden cameras, which is better?
