Speed cameras on every street corner?

Speed cameras on every street corner?

Hundreds more speed cameras should be erected on street corners across the UK to enforce new 20mph speed limits, according to an influential government advisory group. Would this be a welcome move in residential areas, or would you oppose it?

    If speed cameras were sited outside schools, playgrounds, busy shopping areas, etc I'd support their use 100%, even with a 20mph limit in these areas.
    The problem is they're placed where they're going to make the most money, yet another tax on the already overburdened driver.

SO POLICE STOP BUTTING AT THE DESK VIEWING THE TRAFFIC ConGESTIon TRYING TO ConTROLL THE EBB AND FLOW VIA COMPUTER GIZMO'S. INTRODUCE TRAFFIC AWARENESS AT SCHOOL AND BE NANNY'D BY THE LOLLYPOP WARDEN RATHER INSTILL COMMonSENSE APPLICATIon on MAKING THE CORRECT DECISIon THAT THE RISK FACTOR IS MINIMAL AND SAFE FOR CROSSING THE ROAD.
    ALSO BE VERY CLEAR THE ROAD IS THERE FOR THE MOTORIST
    NOT THE PEDESTRIAN AND THAT THE PEDESTRIAN SHOULD TAKE MORE CARE ABOUT HIS/HER USE OF THE AREA ABOUT THE ROAD.
