Just for counting? For speed also?

Yeah I know these are used for counting vehicles but can they also be used for detecting vehicle speed?
Description: two pneumatic hoses, affixed to a road. They lead to a box that's locked to a telephone pole. Location is southern California. On a minor artery road.
Doubtful that it's to survey if a new stop sign is needed since the next street is minor, dead ends into this one and already has a stop sign. The next intersection with another minor artery already has a stop sign.
Extremely doubtful that a traffic light is being considered since there isn't anywhere near the amount of traffic to justify one.
This is located on a slope. Many cars speed down here. That's why I'm wondering about speed sensing by this device.
Microsoft SwiftKey is not bad if you don't mind the data gathering. I swiped this whole reply and only had to correct one word.
I love swipe, but it types ~~competent won't~~ completely wrong words all the time for me wtf am I doing wrong
I don't know. Maybe I've trained it throughout the years or maybe I don't even notice when I correct shit, but it works well enough for me that I don't really notice its imperfections anymore. Either way I've not found a better swipe keyboard so MS can have all my typed data in exchange for this convenience.
Hmm, I believe you! Maybe I should reset it and start over then. Swipe works so terribly for me I end up typing letter by letter most of the time. It gets really tiring on the fingers when your phone is a tool for work
