Camera can't detect variable speed signs

[alf889]

I'm living in Sydney, Australia. On the Highway or Tollway have Electronic Variable speed signs.My HS Phev doesn't detect it. I wonder anyone have the same problem?

I've noticed on the motorways in the UK that the car recognizes the electronic overhead signs as you enter a restriction but then often it doesn't recognize the end of the restriction where we would have the 'national speed limit' sign i.e. a circle with a diagonal across it. You then have to drive with the speed limit warning flashing.

Considering Europe is talking about having the speed recognition systems actually limiting your top speed within the next few/several years, lets hope the technology improves somewhat. I don't fancy driving miles down a motorway being limited by the car to 40 or 50mph!!!

Out of interest, if fitted, does the car satnav show the speed limit?

It does if you are using it, which in my case isn't very often.

The satnav is stand alone I.e. no live traffic or other updates so it doesn't know about any temporary speed limits and can be showing the national limit when the temporary restriction is lower! At least that's the case in the UK.
