Some revenue created from the cameras goes to various road/ other improvements

For every speeding ticket or ticket from running a red light a small percentage of money goes to road improvements. And a larger percent goes to the police. With the cameras the police are not the ones giving out the tickets so more money from the tickets go to various road improvements. So “the rich and reckless are just subsiding those who drive responsibly” (7 Where Does Speed Camera Cash Go).  That’s saying those who don’t care and continue to get speeding tickets are just paying for various road improvements for the people who abide the law and don’t get tickets.
