@lightweight UK used to be exactly the same *until* the cameras started appearing (firstly town and National Highways CCTV schemes and mobile cams in Police cars, now the "sousveillance" of cyclists and other motorists dashcams).
A lot of young drivers mistakenly think that the vehicle/pedestrian detectors at the top of traffic lights are miniature CCTV cameras (although some traffic lights in cities do also have actual CCTV cameras on them)
