This gives me a newfound respect for variable speed signs on UK motorways
I respect the idea, but the actual implementation feels a bit half hearted to me. They need to kick in a lot quicker and be more severe, all they seem to do is make a minor improvement and slow people down perhaps a half mile from the actual congestion.

We have variable speed signs in the US, but where I live, they aren't followed, to the point that it seems unsafe to obey them and go 30mph when the flow of traffic is 60mph
