Road safety activists and some states are pushing to depart from a longstanding rule that sets speed limits in the United States based largely on how fast drivers actually travel
That’s how Finland does a lot of rural highways, and I really like it. Basically, before an intersection/village, there will be a sign that shows the speed limit going down, and it warns you of the upcoming camera, so naturally, everyone actually does slow down in those high-risk areas, which are usually only a couple hundred meters.
Speed cameras?
Do you want a panopticon that fascists could use to surveil and persecute their political enemies? 'Cause that’s how you get one.
Then you have people who briefly slow down for the camera, then speed back up.
You put multiple cameras on the road, and also check the time between sightings.
