-Here in Norway, every speed camera needs to be advertised by signs in order to let the driver know he's being monitored. Kind of defeats their purpose, as the idea is not to ensure people drive past the cam under the posted limit; it is to make sure they obey the posted limit, period. Speed cams would be most effective if they were hidden all over the place. (Or used to record average speed over some distance, which is a most effective way of ensuring people observe the speed limit!) The latter, though, will get the privacy nut in me annoyed unless the authorities flush the record of you passing immediately after verifying that you drove at or under the speed limit. Speed cameras are excellent surveillance devices, after all.
