How about instead of speed cameras you change your road designs? People won't speed if they cannot speed safely.

Make your roads less wide. Add some curves, depending on required max speed, you make the curves larger or smaller. On lower speed roads, add obstacles to drive around.

There are many forms of traffic management that don't require speeding cameras but then again, speeding cameras are for making the government money, not for traffic safety

People won’t speed if they cannot speed safely.

...

I get it, good road design helps stop speeding but the idea that safety even crosses the mind of people going 80 in a 60 is laughable.

The fines should be compounding, after each ticket the fine goes up 10% until people learn to just drive the fuckin limit.

It's not about actual safety, but perceived safety. If the design directly prevents you from feeling like you can go fast, you don't do it.
