Here in NZ, they have started putting up signs that show your speed instead of taking a picture and issuing a fine. They have found that displaying a vehicle's speed has a much stronger impact on speed (and accidents) than tickets.

Who knows whether the light is set to stay orange for the required X amount of seconds, or if it has been lowered to Y seconds to try to make money off people. The people behind me better hope they weren't tailgating me AND have brakes just as good as mine ...
