That’s like 18mph. That’s insanely slow unless the place is super dense. It would literally take me hours to cross my city alone at that speed.

Confused Europeen sounds.
Is this in the US? Why is it in Km/h?
It’s Canada, they use metric (officially).
Makes sense. Thanks!
Canada. Bc Victoria
That clears it up. Thanks!

Even if so, it makes a cyclist’s life a lot easier and safer.
Oh. Hadn’t considered that. You’re right
Nah i have had speeds around 40 on my bike in a 30 zone many times and the cameras never triggered. I dont know why tho, maybe its a fake speed camera.
Its a strip of road with no houses or visual obstructions or anything btw so i dont think i was a danger to anyone.
How would you know if the camera triggered on your bike? You’re not going to get a ticket in the mail 🤔
Cuz it has a flash that is very bright which also triggers during the day. Otherwise you wouldnt be able to see the car drivers face in the shot. Idk if there are ones with other types of imaging that dont require a flash tho so maybe you have a point.

Maybe they’re calibrated to only react to objects over a certain size (to avoid speeding tickets for birds) and that size is larger than you plus your bicycle? 🤷

Agreed. Speed limit enforcement needs to be much more contextual. It would make it a lot more complicated and difficult for those on the enforcement side, sure, but it would save a lot of people from getting fines they can’t afford for essentially doing nothing wrong.
Why would they avoid speeding tickets for birds? Seems like a missed revenue stream opportunity.
Because birds aren’t real, duh!
