Re:Is Every Speed Limit Too Low?

how do they deal with stopovers? average speed measuring is useful only for continuous trip and very short distances between measuring points so they can't be cheated by stops, but I can see how delivery driver with many stops could easily break speed limits even with average measuring

They're only done on motorways (~freeway) in general, and there tend to be at the very least cameras before/after each junction. Any directly on-carriageway parking places tend to be closed off, hard shoulders are for emergency use only, and service areas are considered junctions for this.
I don't think I've ever seen anywhere with them with less than, say, half a mile separation between junctions. At that point, you just get normal speed cameras.
