    To my knowledge, the money doesn’t go back into the municipality. On top of that, it vehicles tend to end up doing like 10km UNDER the limit. They also serve no purpose at 3am when there’s nobody out, but those cameras are still rolling.

    We really need to stop putting so much focus on people speeding and start aggressively ticketing people that drive in the wrong lane, impede traffic, don’t use a blinker, rush left turns on red lights, and drive while distracted. These people are the real nightmares I’m forced to share a road with. The people that I tend to see speeding are generally predictable. The ones weaving through traffic wouldn’t exist if people didn’t camp in the inside lane.

    This is all not to mention the number of speed limits that have gone DOWN over the last 5 years when people were already struggling to do the original limit, now they’re going even slower.

    We should be dealing with real problems, not worrying about people doing 60 in a 50, or 100 in a 50 at 3am when there’s literally nobody out. Likewise, pedestrians should be doing better to be aware of their surroundings, not cutting out in traffic, and not crossing roads with headphones on and/or focused more on their phone than their surroundings.
