I think you'll find it's limited beyond which it won't show the speed. The ones we use I usually limit to about +15mph of the speed limit, otherwise as you said, it encourages boy racers to try and set a maximum. Ours just don't show anything above a certain speed.

Many years ago, our company thought it would be a good idea to install one of these on the site ring road to showcase the new technology as well as making people aware of the speed they were doing. I think it lasted about a week before they realised that employees were competing for the fastest speed

Now they have lovely speed cushions in its place
