But do they speed up again as soon as they're out of sight of the camera? I'd wager some do.There's a speed camera just up the road from me which has been switched off for years. But it still serves a purpose - it's a visual deterrent. And if you spend a little time standing on the pavement alongside it, you'll see it works. As the road leads into a town where speed limits are naturally slower due to volume of traffic, it does help keep limits down. So I'm very much in favour of making cameras as obvious as possible, even if they're not operational. I'd actually like to see decommissioned cameras given to local councils so they can place them as visual deterrents.
