In this case it was a speed camera. Twenty metres before an unrestricted sign,

Since everyone seems to be offtopic here, I would just comment that
since you are not alone on the road, also during the night, it might
happen that someone else do think the same, it's no danger in driving
in 110 mph during the night, then bypass someone not driving that fast
on a twolane road with no barring btw. opposite direction and then
meet you, also driving in 110 mph, in front of you.

Well, it happens, and until E18 in Vestfold, Norway, this happened
almost weekly :-( About 100-250 killed every year over a distance of a
few km :-( Now, that road is history as E18 and killed are reduced to
about 1 in a year (declared a very safe road, it took only 3 months
before a lady crashed into a tunnel wall at about 130 mph (almost 200
km/h :-( ) (Limit is 100 km/h). It is generally known that Norwegian
drivers love speed running their cars, and is the most fined
population in Sweden, seldomly caught at lower speeds than 130-140
km/h in zones with 100 km/h etc.
(I think many of them are also caught in US, but then there is very
luttle that police can do due to lack of regulations)
