If it was about revenue, they'd be better off elsewhereThere are about 400 vehicles an hour each way and maybe 10 or 20 will be over whatever threshold.
Raising revenue is the main objective here, road safety secondary.
I think people get very frustrated with rules that should be more dynamic given the local situation. We are next to the local school with a 30 kph zone. All great and you need eyes everywhere if passing at school time. However at 11 am on a Sunday it is still the same speed limit but not a child in sight. The speed limit should be 50 kph but if you’re caught doing more than 30 at this time you end up with penalty points. I tend outside school days to do 33-34kph as my car keep beeping at me, should I slow or should I keep going as I am and risk getting caught some day.
Putting in a fixed camera by the school will not make me a safer driver. Just probably one who ends up off the road very quickly.
The locations and minimum times to be spent in each are specified in the contract. They are paid by the hour, not by the detection. The fines are paid directly to the exchequer.If a private enterprise does become involved, I expect to see a similar situation to the one that we currently have with the speed camera vans - they'll be placed where maximum revenue can be earned, rather than at the truely dangerous locations.

Its an old wives tales that Go Safe are incentivised to catch more people, that is not the caseIn all honestly, I struggle to believe that, based on what I see regularly... and that's not intended to reflect on you, btw, Leo.
Where are you getting that info. please?
I remember threads on it here going back to when they were rolled out initially. It was stated then that the contract would incorporate minimum targets, but wouldn't incentivise detections.In all honestly, I struggle to believe that, based on what I see regularly... and that's not intended to reflect on you, btw, Leo.

The contract makes it clear that there should be no correlation between payments made to the service provider and the number of vehicle detections, or penalty point notices issued or collected.
The people in the van literally set it up and then sit back with a coffee and a newspaper (or similar)In all honestly, I struggle to believe that, based on what I see regularly... and that's not intended to reflect on you, btw, Leo.
