What are they expecting?

Cycling to work this morning, I saw a 'Your Speed Is...' active sign being installed on a lamppost on Barton Road.  I don't know how it'll work (radar?), nor whether it has been located well (~50 m after a school and a childrens' crossing point).

The worrying thing is that the seven-segment-LCD -type display goes up to 199 mph, on a fairly tight bend in a 30mph zone.
