They're not located at areas where lower speeds would improve safety, they're located at areas where they make the most money. At least that's how people feel.

I'm personally generally dubious on speed limit based policies.
- megaremote 8y agoRubbish. This is just a complete lie, spread by people not wanting to drive safely. It is up there with speed doesn't kill, and I drive better when I have had a few drinks.
- Reelin 8y agoNice one, trying to discredit your opponent by claiming they don't want to drive safely instead of actually responding to their (IMO legitimate) complaint. I imagine it depends on the jurisdiction, but personally I don't recall ever seeing a speed camera next to a school, near a city park, or across from a row of dense apartment buildings. Instead they always seem to be in fairly irrelevant places such as along highways where you cross from one jurisdiction into another. I'm sure that has absolutely nothing to do with revenue though.
- arkh 8y agoThe Montpellier area : 2x3 ways limited to 110km/h + 2x3 ways limited to 90 km/h. Road in perfect state. So let's put an average speed radar system.
- adrianN 8y agoSometimes speed limits are there to reduce noise.
- PunchTornado 8y agoare you a road engineer? a safety specialist? have access to the stats of the area? know that ppl didn't complain for noise?
- arkh 8y agoNo stats: it's 1 year old. For the noise complaints, enjoy the view from the A9 and A709: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Montpellier/@43.5591054,3.8714913,13.25z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x12b6af0725dd9db1:0xad8756742894e802!8m2!3d43.610769!4d3.876716 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Montpellier/@43.5591054,3....
