Oh, and New Zealand has speed cameras littered throughout the country. Many are fixed but most are in vans placed in strategic locations each day.
Are these effective? Well, they issue a lot of tickets, perhaps every driver in the country gets one every few years. They certainly are an incentive not to speed but I would guess the vast majority are for inadvertently creeping over the allowable 109 kph (68 mph) due to watching the road rather than constantly monitoring the speedo.
