There are multiple issues here. One, it is the state at is most impersonal and cynical. This isn't about public order, public good or even safety, it is cynical revenue raising. Second, everyone speeds. It is like central planning vs market economy. The state puts down blanket speed limits that often bear no relation to the actual road. They also put down a myriad of speed zones such that no-one really knows what the speed limit is when they are confronted by a speed camera. Self-organization and spontaneous organization is always more efficient than central planning and traffic is a massive organism of self-organization. It is why the police don't pull anyone over in rush hour, they just cause traffic jams. Speed cameras also destroy the flow of traffic as people throw out the anchors and do up to ten mph below the speed limit to avoid getting a ticket.
