^But Tony, surely they'd have some computer-related technology that gives a precise reading of the time? When I drive over those white markings, I can feel there is something under it (wires, sensors?). Presumably that can be linked to equipment in the plane.
The article doesn't go into specifics but I would hope it'll be more precise than a Highway Patrol officer sitting in a plane with a stop watch round his neck going "one potato, two potato, three potato..."
For the sake of the infringement notices holding up in court you'd think they would be using something a bit more reliable and accurate. Like you say, the document doesn't go into details, just mentions a "timing system"
As for something being under the paint markings, don't forget that the paint markings themselves will have a thickness on top of the surface. I might just have to wander out that way one night....
