Translation......

The vast majority of people know where they are & we are now spending more in up keep than they return in revenue.

Sounding a lot like an admission to a focus on revenue collecting rather than safety :nono:

Well that's all a result of the public outcry over revenue-gathering that forced cameras to be made high-vis and sited only at accident blackspots, rather than hidden behind signs on the first bit of straight road after a twisty or congested spot...

Correction..

Durham doesn't have/hasn't had speed cameras. Their record for deaths/injuries/etc. is far better than the counties that do have them.
Yet they are targeted for abuse by the likes of Brake, et al for it.

"...we decided to make the focus road safety rather than enforcement,"


How enlightened is that? Never work here...
