OK, I hate that. I do not mind that they have a limit and they are enforcing it but the drivers are insane. They speed up to 80+ and then slam on the brakes when the camera comes into view (and they are in the same place all the time so frequent drivers know where they are). They don't just slow down to the speed limit, they slow down to 50-55 (speed limit 65) and just by the time that they are back up to the 80+ there is another camera. I think it is better in PV where they are in different locations all the time so you have to drive the speed limit more consistantly because you never know where they will pop up.
