Speed Bumps? jk

I've run over those wires all the time... there's like a box at one end tracking shit down. I think it does track your speed

 

[Espiohti]

they check how much traffic goes on that street

 

[Defy]

it has sensors to see if you are smoking marijuana in your car and deploys police directly to the scene.

 

[L.D.S.]

The two lines they run judge your speed between each hit of the front tires. The single line is normally a counter to see if detours are causing other road ways to pick up traffic, or if that road is seeing larger volume in general.

ISNT THERE LIKE A SIGN THAT SHOW YO SPEED NEAR BY?

 

[L.D.S.]

Yeah, they're on all streets, except county dirt roads....
