Doug Ford banned speed cameras. The City of Ottawa posted the raw speed data from before and after the ban. This chart shows the percentage of drivers going 15km/h or more over the posted limit. (feddit.uk)

It's so selfishly myopic to look at the differences in fatality between 40 and 50, to look at the effects on driving speeds that these camera have, and then conclude, "This is a pointless money grab!" Like, dude, you're clearly lying to yourself out loud. The lies we tell ourselves are not convincing to others.

I feel like there's a middle ground between your two posts, like the speed limit should be lowered by 5 and that should be added as a margin of error. That way you don't get angry people behind you for going under the speed limit when you're just trying to not get a ticket.

I'm not sure it's super constructive to be so antagonistic, especially when the other person has a valid concern.
