It focused on the Arizona study because that was the only one out of the 35 that actually measured Motor Vehicle Collisions. The rest did not even attempt it in any controlled manner.

As stated, there are no meaningful studies that these cameras reduce accidents.

So it sounds to me like you're not disputing the fact that they have a protective effect against injury and death. Maybe you should clarify that in your prior comment if that's how you feel.

[-] Jarvis2323@programming.dev -4 points 2 months ago

I am in fact stating that there is no proof that they do anything to reduce collusions or deaths. I stated in my first comment that such proof does not exist.

These cameras are only deployed to generate revenue. There is no scientific basis for improved safety.

So you're going to go back on the death (and injury) part now that it has been pointed out that the study you linked was only about the collisions. And itself points research that shows that there is a reduction in death (and injury).

Right?

The authors of the systematic review had no reservations in asserting that the cameras lowered injuries and deaths, so how do they not affect safety? Do the cameras emit cancer-causing 5G beams or something that bring the number of injuries and deaths back into equillibrium?
