Folks round here must have a higher than average embarrassment threshold
then, most people seem to get flashed by the signs, no one seems to
care.
The only benefit I can see is that if I'm approaching one on my bike[1]
and it flashes I know someone is about to overtake too fast.
[1] I've no idea if they can even see my bike, both they and speed
cameras always seem to be situated in places where I can't get over the
limit on my bike anyway.
