SafeSpeed back in the news about cameras

SafeSpeed may have stats to back up their claims

"average cameras have a 5% negative effect on road safety, Gatso [yellow box cameras] have a 13% negative effect and a policeman on the side of the road will have a 27% benefit, so why are we using policies that are not effective and that we know have a negative effect on road safety?".

IAM Road Smart said
"There's clear evidence at locations where cameras are located, they are there for road safety reasons.
"They don't just appear out of nowhere. They have to go through a process involving looking at the road accident record at that location.
"Each of these locations is a site that has got some kind of accident problem and that's why we want to be sure that there's protection there all the time for the people who live around those sites."

Anyone know of camera sites where there hasn't been an accident problem?

Unless the Smart in Road Smart is the same as the Smart in Smart Motorways

Not an answer to your question but hope they turn off these new 'smart motorway' cameras too in the near future and stick some real police officers there. Since almost all motorways are planned to have this BS smart motorway system now.
