Speed Trap (& Parking) Subterfuge

An article regarding NSW proposing to remove warning signs near fixed speed cameras.

So somehow not making speeding motorists aware that they are about to be caught by a fixed speed camera is going to reduce the road toll?

And whether or not they slow down temporarily for the camera, how will this reduce the road toll when they kill themselves and/or someone else 10 minutes later and the fine arrives in the mail a week or so later?

I thought that the government was previously claiming that the speed cameras had been a runaway success in reducing the road toll.

The signs at the combined speed and redlight cameras around Cairns state. “Speed and Red Light Camera. For Road Safety”.

I noticed last week that someone had overpainted “For Road Safety” on one of the signs.

Pity they did not add “For Revenue Raising”.
