Before the cameras were installed four years ago, roughly 17 per cent of motorists followed the posted speed limits. ... In the last year before the cameras were banned, compliance reached 87 per cent.

Within a week of the cameras’ removal, that fell to 62 per cent, and three weeks later, it had dropped to 50 per cent.

...

Carlucci says it’s time for drivers to reflect and consider one simple question.

“Why are you speeding in a school zone?”

Problem is people aren't good judges of what is, in fact, a safe speed.

Edit: the second problem is that making it feel unsafe while not being unsafe (or unfeasible to maintain or prohibitively costly) leaves very few options.

Absolutely, I have driven with my boss enough to know that he absolutely does not know what a safe speed is.

Especially when a safe speed for you when you were 40 is probably not the same speed when you are 60 but you are used to driving that way.
