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.

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.
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.
Confused Europeen sounds.
Is this in the US? Why is it in Km/h?
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.
My neighborhood is 20mph and it costs me more concentration to keep it that low than cruise 25-30 and be on the lookout. Apparently concentration on riding my brakes is safer.
I’m a shit driver

30kph is normal in many places in Europe and doesn’t cause any of the problems mentioned ITT
It’s a dense city but 30kmh is way too slow. For such a left leaning city pretending to care about the environment, this is dumb considering how inefficient it is to drive at that speed
