In response to "If the enforcement is faulty, that is one thing. But speed limits are valid everywhere, not only where cameras are installed. (NM)" by Marlowe

Speed limits are valid everywhere, but the risks of not complying with them are different in different places.

eg it's more dangerous to speed through a red light intersection than it is on an uninterrupted stretch of road.

And it's riskier to speed on a street that has a lot of pedestrian traffic, like a main shopping street or a street with a school on it, than a street that has none

So they put speed cameras in places where there is the greatest risk of an accident. These cameras are all on streets that have schools.
