    Wouldn’t mind governments doing this if real ones are too expensive/ too much hassle to maintain.

      figure out what percentage of them need to be real for people to treat them all as real, and then put up as many false and real cameras as budget allows, with real ones being as randomly distributed as possible

        I would also be interesting to know what percentage it will be. Might even be well below 50% if the fine is serious enough.

        An example from riding trains in the Netherlands: If you get caught you pay around €60 on top of what the journey would have cost if you did have a ticket. That seems high enough to get people behave.

      My town does this with red light cameras.

      We’ve got two dozen camera housings, and a half dozen cameras. Sometimes they announce where the cameras are, sometimes they don’t.
