According to my satnav information there are more speed cameras in the UK than France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Portugal combined! Here is the list of the number of cameras by country:
| Austria |
410 |
| Belgium |
1202 |
| Spain |
606 |
| Finland |
779 |
| France |
1235 |
| United Kingdom |
4256 |

| Luxembourg |
2 |
| Netherlands |
1659 |

I’m not sure, but I think Belgium may beat us per capita.
