When a work zone was posted at 60 mph for several months suddenly is reduced to 50 mph (with no changes in roadway geometry, lane shifts, etc.) along with cameras installed, it sure makes you question things.

That, along with their $12+ million annually raised from the program, reallyyyyy makes you question things.

Also, why are cameras only posted along US-58 work zones? There's several ongoing throughout the city. But only the major highway in and out of the metro? These speeding "issues" only have recently arisen due to speed limits being lowered well below what they should be.

Right.  Let's see if the courts agree with your assessment.
Well, that's not what the court is looking at. So that's irrelevant.

The fact the cameras are a revenue generating machine, is indeed a fact. They brought in $12.5 million from cameras in FY 2024. That is, in fact, revenue.

At this point, I don't know what your point is.
