First a story, and then I'll get to my point:
One Independence day, I went to visit my brother in Chicago.  We stood on the
roof of his apartment building, and listened to the almost constant crackle
of fireworks all over the neighborhood.  I soon realized if I said, at some 
*random* time, "Here comes a BIG one!", within a reasonable amount of time a 
BIG one would go off somewhere nearby.

Could a billboard be set up to detect the presence of on-coming cars, and tell
every Nth one "You're going too fast" with a reasonable chance of being right?
