DfT's Q & A's on Speed/Safety Cameras
Discussion

Q8 What happens if the scheme is so successful that fewer people speed and there is insufficient revenue to cover the extra camera costs?
[...]As compliance improves, camera use
may be reviewed and scaled down as appropriate.
This one is the big paradox, isn't it?
We're continually told that cameras are not meant to catch us out and that "the most effective camera is one that doesn't catch a single speeding motorist".
But if "compliance improves" (for which read "profits drop off") their use is "scaled down".
I don't get it.
It's like putting up a big wall round a prison, to stop the prisoners escaping - and then pulling it down because the prisoners have stopped escaping
