I also quite like the idea proposed by the institute of advanced drivers:

If you must have cameras at all, then they should be sited at an
accident black spot (and not on a totally different road within some
arbitrary radius!).

There should be a "camera ahead" sign a few hundred yards before it that
shows the speed limit, and importantly, includes the reason the camera
is there. So for example you get things like "30, Concealed Junction",
or "20, School Crossing".

It that way there is less argument that you are targeting safety and not
implementing another stealth tax. Also you would be carrying out a
subconscious process of education - alerting drivers to the sorts of
situations and road conditions that should require close attention to
speed.
