"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.

It seems to me like you're struggling to empathise with people that speed 😂( which if you don't drive is completely fair 😂)

But yeah I agree it's not a good excuse for speeding, just trying to say that putting a sign up is not very effective. It's better than nothing though and a good first step.

But adding speed cameras, while it might help a bit to reduce speeds, it's not very effective, and a much better solution would be removing the root cause of the problem: car centric infrastructure.

Speed cameras don't prevent people from speeding, they just punish people after the fact, whereas better designed roads prevent it from even happening in the first place.
