Speed cameras are great but I do worry the US would just show its racism by picking inequitable locations for themhttps://twitter.com/humantransit/status/1292166171186225153 …
Just using hot areas as a place to put cameras is discriminatory. Enforcement is one of the tools that should be used to increase traffic safety.

A historic underinvestment in calming streets, separated bike lanes, safe corners, etc, should not result in putting more cameras. Especially in the US, where fine revenue directly benefits the city or even the police department budget, creating strong incentives to tax the poor.

Instead, the analysis should focus on: What is the best tool we have to increase safety in this area? And if the answer is speed enforcement, then placing cameras makes sense. But that should probably be your last resort.
