For clarity, the idea is that the sign would not turn on unless you were speeding. So there should be no confusion, and it would be no different from the current "YOUR SPEED IS" signs (except, that those are always on and tend to strobe when people go over the limit).
My thought is that someone might not be bothered by being told what speed they are going. After all, they SHOULD ALREADY KNOW! But if they are told what the consequences are for speeding in real time, perhaps it might deter some drivers or bring attention to those who are unaware?*
*Some are just assholes who will speed no matter what. And then run from the police when they are spotted. You can't really deter those drivers with a sign, or laws...
Ohhh, you meant it that way oops, thats embrassing
somehow i was thinking it was like a round shield with a 30 or 50 or something on it
And was like: do i have to do math to convert the potential fine to the speed limit
Which would make no sense
I am sorry for being rude
I think this could be nice 10m behind "your speed is" signs as another number "xxx.xx€ fine"
Behind so they have a bit more time before its away
But could be stoopid that way
