Yeah I know these are used for counting vehicles but can they also be used for detecting vehicle speed?

Description: two pneumatic hoses, affixed to a road. They lead to a box that’s locked to a telephone pole. Location is southern California. On a minor artery road.

Doubtful that it’s to survey if a new stop sign is needed since the next street is minor, dead ends into this one and already has a stop sign. The next intersection with another minor artery already has a stop sign.

Extremely doubtful that a traffic light is being considered since there isn’t anywhere near the amount of traffic to justify one.

This is located on a slope. Many cars speed down here. That’s why I’m wondering about speed sensing by this device.

    A great use of my time while I wait for my flight that’s been delayed by 5 hours!

      Wait, wasn’t there something in the news recently that the airlines now have to give you money back for that kind of delay? I’m not going to look it up because you have plenty of time to. Of course they’ll probably weasel out of it anyway.

        I just landed to an email with a $50 credit. The round trip was $160 so I’m happy with the credit!
