    Another way to say it, is that they haven’t installed enough average speed cameras.

    If you install a few of those, suddenly drivers do manage to keep to the speed limit.

    The US system is stupid. Most drivers drive too fast and overestimate their driving capabilities.

      Designing a street so that people naturally drive a given speed is a pretty well-solved problem and you don’t have to expand the surveillance state to do it. Also it usually makes the road more pleasant for everyone!

      Cool create perverse incentives that do nothing to physically stop a car from barreling down a residential street, but also generate tax revenue so now the government is further discouraged from fixing the problem of a car barreling down a residential street, lest they lose revenue. Good job!
