There's signs posted in advance that say something along the lines of "Speed Enforcement Camera Ahead". The only reason they'd be a surprise is if you're not paying attention to signage. They're in the mountains, but I've mostly seen them out in the flat eastern parts of Colorado where the roads are mostly long straight stretches over flat terrain. Which makes sense, since that's where it's easy to speed.
Depends on how you look at "makes sense." It's easy to speed, it's relatively safer to speed (except in blinding snow conditions when the cameras probably don't work too well...) So, if "makes sense" is about maximizing revenue, then sure: more people will be breaking the law where the law itself makes less sense...
