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.

    The typos started at the precise moment your mind was blown.

    Please don’t change them.

        Haha, not quite. Was having a drink and smoking a cigar after work. I know i should proofread more since my autocorrect has been absolutely dog shit for the past 6 years, but i just can’t commit to it.

        If anyone has a half-decent Android keyboard recommendedation, I’m absolutely down to switch.

          Microsoft SwiftKey is not bad if you don’t mind the data gathering. I swiped this whole reply and only had to correct one word.

              I don’t know. Maybe I’ve trained it throughout the years or maybe I don’t even notice when I correct shit, but it works well enough for me that I don’t really notice its imperfections anymore. Either way I’ve not found a better swipe keyboard so MS can have all my typed data in exchange for this convenience.

                Hmm, I believe you! Maybe I should reset it and start over then. Swipe works so terribly for me I end up typing letter by letter most of the time. It gets really tiring on the fingers when your phone is a tool for work
