A survey in Northamptonshire has reported that 75% of the public support the use of speed cameras.
Northamptonshire Police carried out a phone survey of 325 people to discover if there was support for safety cameras on the county's roads.
Three-quarters agreed with using speed cameras to help reduce road casualties.
Only 40% felt there were too many cameras in the area while 70% felt they were being used as a safety measure and not as a way to punish motorists.
However, 65% of those questioned did believe speed cameras were an easy way of making money out of motorists.
Don Powell, from the county's Safety Camera Partnership, said: "The results are very encouraging and show that we do have the support of the vast majority.
