These laws are idiotic. Speed limits should vary based on traffic congestion and road conditions. Going 55mph in a modern car on open highway is the opposite of efficiency.
These traffic cameras have proven not to save any lives but as a scam to generate more revenue.
We have 25mph speed limits in NYC and cameras on every block.

I didn't say I agreed with cameras on the highway - I lived through the BS speed camera vans in Canada back in the early 2000's
I was responding to the person who was making a point of it being a mandatory tax for the poor and middle class - it isn't or won't be - we all have the choice to drive the exact speed limit if we don't want a ticket
that said, I drive 5-9mph over regularly and only have to lift off the throttle if I see a cop, and never get tickets in those situations
I do get tickets every 2 or 3 years on my car or bike - and it is always for doing 15mph over - which is my fault and choice
