Microsimulation of Traffic Flow

Those variable speed limit signs are meant to be enforced by average speed checks with cameras. I'm not sure what's going on with that, I know there are delays, but there's signage that says there are regular speed cameras.

So if the cameras work, we'll have to do exactly what they say or get fined for speeding.

On the new 'Smart Motorways' there is built in enforcement via cameras. On those, the speed limit signs are actually speed limits, with the red ring around them.

The ones I was referring to are advisory and look like this [0].

I got hit by this a while ago. Was driving down an empty freeway at night and there must have been road works off the side of the road during the day but I didn't see it until the second sign but the speed camera was after the first sign and I got hit with an $800 fine :/
