Road traffic speed monitor
Brücke mit einem oder mehreren Wechselzeichengebern (Einrichtung zur Darstellung von Wechselverkehrszeichen).
e.g.
Ist das Geschwindigkeitsüberwachungsgerät an eine Wechselverkehrszeichenanlage mit nur einem relevanten Anzeigequerschnitt angebunden, muss das Gerät aus den Meldungen der WVZ automatisch den zum Zeitpunkt der Messwertbildung gültigen Geschwindigkeitsgrenzwert ermitteln, um insbesondere den aktuellen Bildauslösegrenzwert festzulegen.
- probably on an Autobahn or similar
- connected to a radar gun (mobile or stationary)
PS If anyone knows of existence/location of English translation of PTB-A 18.11 (Dez. 2005) - Messgeräte im Straßenverkehr - Geschwindigkeitsüberwachungsgeräte
issued by Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB) could they let me know ASAP!

MATRIX INDICATORS AND CONTROLLED MOTORWAY INDICATORS
These indicators are simple matrix panels with the capability to show two-digit advisory speed limits, highway lane closure symbols or short words. CMI signs conform to the requirements of mandatory speed limit signs and comprise a red circle surrounding a display matrix that can show variable speed limits, set remotely depending on prevailing road conditions. The signs are also linked to police speed enforcement cameras, the threshold for which is changed depending on the sign setting.
Both of these signs can be either post-mounted or placed on an overhead 'bridge' or 'portal' gantry with one sign per lane on a multi-lane highway.

: yes, at my last visit in Germany last year, I was surprised that the speed is not always unlimited everywhere any more. . How would speed monitor work?

You'll need to scroll to almost bottom for text - pictures clearly show what is meant - but in English?
