Strongly disagree if the point is safety... lets use the school zone example again.
Would the point not be to slow ALL traffic down?? In which case, the sensible thing to do would be to put up a big, "ACTIVE PHOTO RADAR AHEAD - slow to 25km/h" sign... would probably go a long, long way to ensuring the drivers obeyed.
Lets say Joe Tourist is driving through the city and was distracted, whatever, and missed the small sign to slow down in the school zone... try explaining to the student he runs over that he was caught on camera, and lesson learned.. he won't do it again.
