    Yes, it does measure your speed between readers from what I understand.

    It helps on 70 in KS also. EB mm 328 the readers are on the downslope of a big hill. Pain in the behind to slow 'er down to 65 but it has never failed, at least not in the 2 years I've been going thru that scale house daily.

    we don't have transponders. but that would appear to be the case also when going through the scale.

    going slower gives you the bypass lane more often. when entering the entrance ramp to the scale.

    i'm talking about those scales that have arrows to tell you which lane to take. bypass or scale lane
