Sir, – On an ongoing break in Portugal’s Algarve, I am struck by a novel but obvious traffic speed control used to ensure motorists reduce their speed when approaching villages or on open stretches of road that tempt drivers to exceed the 50km speed limit.

If you are within the speed limit, it remains green. It works. – Yours, etc,
