Nah i have had speeds around 40 on my bike in a 30 zone many times and the cameras never triggered. I dont know why tho, maybe its a fake speed camera.
Its a strip of road with no houses or visual obstructions or anything btw so i dont think i was a danger to anyone.
Maybe they're calibrated to only react to objects over a certain size (to avoid speeding tickets for birds) and that size is larger than you plus your bicycle? 🤷
Agreed. Speed limit enforcement needs to be much more contextual. It would make it a lot more complicated and difficult for those on the enforcement side, sure, but it would save a lot of people from getting fines they can't afford for essentially doing nothing wrong.
Why would they avoid speeding tickets for birds? Seems like a missed revenue stream opportunity.
Because birds aren't real, duh!
