A reduction in the number of speed camera tickets does not necessarily mean a reduction in speeding. It may mean the people now are aware of where the cameras are, drive like they always did, and then slow down for the camera. This can actually be more dangerous, like the cars that race through the 395 tunnel then slam the brakes at the camera.

Before a speed camera is placed on a street, that street should have a study done to determine the actual safe speed limit, especially given that today's cars are able to safely handle higher speeds then the cars that were around when many of these limits were set.
