How PaceMate helps on this road
PaceMate gives you a heads-up about 750 m before the entry gate, then shows how many seconds you are under or over pace against the 100 km/h limit all the way through. At the exit gate you see your average speed, your time through the zone and whether you were within the allowed time.
PaceMate is not a speed camera detector and cannot guarantee your average. Always obey the signed limit.
