Nice, glad to see more countries adopting these. We've had them in NL for a few years now. In the beginning people of course complained, but seeing as they're always clearly signposted it's become not as socially acceptable to complain about as regular speed cams.
You can also always immediately tell when you've entered one. Suddenly even the BMWs are driving 100. Especially on big roads like the A2 it's funny, six lanes of cars driving the exact same speed.
Since NZ is almost certainly modeling off overseas implementation, I'm curious; do you know if there's a threshold, like if the average works out to be 1kph over the limit, do you get a ticket?
Well yes, there's a 3 km/h correction. But that's a blanket rule, so it's also for old speed cams and mobile equipment. I don't know how other eu countries do it
