"Nowhere was it more apparent than on Geneva Avenue between Prague Street and Brookdale Avenue, where one camera averaged 1,779 violations a day, according to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Another camera on Bryant Street, between Second and Third streets, zapped 944 speeding drivers a day."

Nearly TWO THOUSAND speeding violations in one day, in the heart of a major city. These people drive like morons.

If your speed cameras catch 100k violators a month, you've built the streets wrong.

Either build high speed roads with few intersections, limited access, and generous amounts of clearance to allow for high speed cars with less danger. Or build low speed narrow streets to keep traffic moving slowly.

The us builds high speed roads with frequent intersections with pedestrians a few inches away. This is a fundamentally dangerous design. It can't be fixed with ticketing and cameras. Tear out the roads.
