National Scrap Speed Cameras Week

[andycwb]

The week of 24th June is National Scrap Speed Cameras Week.

Can I bring your attention to http://www.safespeed.org.uk/sscw.html.  From this page:

"Speed cameras have failed as a road safety policy. Neither road deaths nor hospitalisations have fallen as expected. Resources being poured into speed cameras and associated policies at every level of our road safety system are wasted, and should have been put to far better use.

We need to get rid of speed cameras to refocus those valuable life saving resources where they can actually save lives, not simply make matters worse.

But speed cameras don't just waste resources. They come with a wide range of damaging side effects. You can download our side effects report.

The net effect of all this has been a deadly loss of trend in road risk values. We first observed this in 2002. (click)"
