Default Psychology of speed camera placement

For those in the SE corner of Qld, you'd be aware of the new speed cameras being sited in the area. One that concerns me is the unit at Nudgee on the Gateway arterial ( heading south ) It's based in the reduced 90 km/hr zone, and would no doubt have been placed there to slow people down prior to a barely adequate merging ramp zone.

Watching the traffic flow the other afternoon, and after the brake light mamba, quite a few are nailing it once they have passed the unit. So, now we have a situation where a fair number of drivers whose internal dynamic/attitude has just gone into " screw the revenue raising yada yada ", are flashing past the merge lane.

Just wondering if the powers that be looked at past driver behaviour around speed cameras generally before they sited the unit

I forsee problems with this one..

Steve
