Exactly. Pay attention to the sides of the road. If you see widely spaced, white lines, an operator in an aircraft can observe how long it takes your vehicle to travel from one line to the next. A simple calculation will decide your fate. Speed = distance/time. They've been using this for many years and on some roads there are even signs posted to warn you, although some may be fraudulent just to serve as a speeding-deterrent.
