There are average speed cameras on the A9 here in Scotland - which I think have been a good thing given the reduction in insane driving I've seen on what was already a very dangerous road.

- blamazon 3y agoI personally am a huge fan of average speed cameras and think we should adopt them but that is a hugely unpopular opinion here in the states... it would be career suicide for a politician to campaign on that, quite possibly even for the deadliest roads with the most insane drivers. (For me, instantly thinking of the 'Robert Moses style' New York state parkways [1]) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkways_in_New_York https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkways_in_New_York
- reaperducer 3y agoIt's easier to just use the beacons from the tires, anyway. Doing it from cameras seems like going the hard way. When I lived in Texas, toll roads were just starting to become fashionable. People worried that the toll tags would be used to give speeding tickets, so a law was written preventing police from using that data for that purpose.
