These new regulations also made it illegal to warn the public where speed cameras are located. The cantons of St. Gallen, Ticino and more recently Basel-Landschaft have all decided to advertise the whereabouts of their speed cameras in a bid to cut the number of accidents. Road users in these cantons are still strictly banned from publicly sharing information on the location of speed cameras and speed detecting officers. The argument in favour of advertising the location of speed cameras is that it reduces accidents. Advertising the location of speed cameras might reduce accidents but it might also reduce the revenue that comes from issuing tickets.
