My guess is to monitor traffic flow, but does anyone have a solid answer on why k-band radar systems are hanging off the bottom of the roadside construction message board signs looking at on-coming traffic?
My guess has always been so they can make it do the "Your Speed" thing to try to make people slow down.
It is to warn you of construction
Yes..
I think they can be tied together. I've seen signs that give the average speed ahead & the time it will take to get thru the construction.
But they are a real PITA for the RD.

maybe to make people slow down. It gets annoying
To warn you of construction and annoy those with detecters to slow down
They're not even half as annoying as X-band.
One of my friends actually said they are used to turn the signs on and off. When the sign gets no signal return to indicate traffic it turns the sign off, then when the radar senses traffic the sign turns back on. Suppossedly done to conserve power.
But yes it is annoying for sure.
