Is there any change in accident rates, or any other metric that would suggest that these are worthwhile?

  from anecdotal experience these stretches become the most boring. And boring is good

    Basically all of my accidents were caused by boredom and losing attention, not by speeding, losing control in corners, etc. It's a complicated topic with a lot of variables, but those are my 2c.

      One could also draw the conclusion that none of your accidents resulted in fatalities.

      I always say if you can text and drive at the same time, it's because you're not driving fast enough!

  According to these studies, section speed cameras can reduce the number of accidents by 30% on average, compared to 20% for conventional speed cameras. Even better: section speed cameras reduce the number of serious accidents by 56%! Better, the study highlighted a "contagion" effect: the average speed also dropped in the areas located before and after the controlled section. Finally, the speed seems to have become more homogeneous, and the band changes less frequent in the studied area. https://www.touring.be/fr/articles/radars-troncons-et-securite-routiere-mythe-ou-realite https://www.touring.be/fr/articles/radars-troncons-et-securi...
