Reply to comment by QristopherQuixote in Automated enforcement of water conservation rules in Fresno, California led to a decrease in summer water use and violations of conservation rules (relative to households subject to in-person inspections). This program massively increased consumer complaints, ultimately causing its cancellation. by smurfyjenkins

Are there any studies showing a safety improvement with automated enforcement? I was pretty sure it increased the accident rate..

Yes. I read several and the improvement is between 12 and 30% reduction in accidents. This is particularly true when speed limits are enforced.
