    No it’s not…it’s because they’re two digit LED dot matrix displays, they’re always used in areas with maximum 80km/h speed limits and doesn’t really need any more than that. They can’t display numbers higher than 99 due to their config, but will still flash at you for speeding. It is not an intentional decision specifically to avoid situations like this.

      No, they were three digit before multiple incidents involving high scores. The newer models are two digit only. No flashing happen above 100 km/h either.

        I have never in my 20 years of driving seen one with more than two digits, and I (unfortunately) have driven by them with +100km/h before and they absolutely flash at you (without showing numbers). I am fairly reluctant to believe your statements given my own experience.
