This.
Where I live they use a system called section control. For that they take a picture of your license plate when you enter a section and again when you leave it. From the time it took you to cross the section they calculate your average speed. And days after it was installed now everyone drives a safe margin below the speed limit, because every single one going faster will be caught.
Speeding is a calculated thing, not something that happens accidentally. People subconciously multiply the height of the fine times the chances of getting caught, and if the result is low enough they will speed. But if the fine is high enough and the chance of getting caught is close to 100%, then it's just not worth the money and suddenly people are totally capable of obeying a speed limit, even if the road was designed for higher speeds.
