However, this does not mean that cameras have not been effective at all these locations

When it suits them a short time is acceptable (regression to the mean), but when it doesn't suit them they need a longer analysis period.
Whats betting next year a 3 period yaer is cherry picked to show how effective the cameras have been.

-If a scamera doesn't catch any drivers, it's a successful since drivers are driving slow
-If a scamera catches millions of drivers it's successful since millions of evil drivers have been punished.
