Does speeding at the end of a highway section speed measurement count as speeding?

Section speed measurement zones and fixed-point speed measurements are the same in that speeding is not allowed, but speeding within 10% will not be penalized. Below are the relevant details: 1. Sections with a speed limit of 100 km/h: In sections with a speed limit of 100 km/h, speeds up to 110 km/h will not be penalized. Section speed measurement sets up two fixed speed measurement points at the start and end of the section, calculating the time the vehicle takes to travel between them to determine the average speed. If you speed in one part and slow down in another, the average speed may not exceed the limit. However, be aware that fixed-point speed measurement devices may still be present in section speed measurement zones. Exceeding the highway speed limit may still be considered speeding. 2. Speed measurement points: Section speed measurement is generally divided into point A and point B. There will be prominent signs at the start of the section. After entering point A, the recognition system will record the vehicle's information, including the license plate number and the exact time of passing, and will also take a panoramic photo of the vehicle.
I often drive through average speed check zones on the highway, and it's important to understand how they work. Average speed cameras take photos at both the start and end points, calculating your average speed over that stretch of road. If you're speeding at the endpoint but your overall average speed doesn't exceed the limit, it doesn't count as speeding. However, in reality, some sections secretly install fixed-point speed cameras at endpoints, which will catch you if you speed there. Also, suddenly accelerating at the endpoint can easily cause accidents, especially with heavy traffic and possible merging lanes. Nowadays, I maintain a steady speed throughout average speed zones - it's both safer and more relaxing.
