The top 10 countries with the most speed camerasSpeed cameras are undoubtedly put in place to improve the overall experience of drivers, by keeping them safe. No matter where you are in the world, drivers should always adhere to the speed limit. However, lots of speed cameras on the roads can add to the stress of driving. Also, if you’re not familiar with the road you’re driving on, looking out for cameras on the roads can be distracting. Hong Kong tops the list of countries with the most speed cameras, with a speed camera being found for every 0.17km of road. The UAE, Singapore and UK also rank in the top 10 countries with the most cameras, with the UK having a speed camera for every 54.72km of road. Outside of this, European countries dominate the top 10, with 7 of the 10 countries being located in the continent. [td]Rank | Country | One speed camera every km of road | 1
