Like WHAT? You mean one of those speed-showing radars? Used to be one on Itäväylä...

There is also such a place along Ylästöntie in Vantaa, somewhere around address numbers 25-30 or so, can't remember exactly. Between Bauhaus and the Backas (?) manor.

Just after the roundabout in front of the Markantalo? They are pretty rare all in all, and the thing is when the old ones break, they're not installing new ones apparently as so many have now GPS maps which give accurate speeds they put the money into traffic cameras and temperature/weather information stations.

Just go as fast as you can. I am sure sooner or later someone will pull you over and be more than happy to tell you how fast you were going

There's one in Sörnäinen beside the prison - the one that cuts across from Sörnäisten rantatie to lahdenväylä

If you are talking about those speed camera scoreboards ... which tell you your speed and "Ylinopeus" if you go past them too fast. As a counter measure to Boy Racers finding out how fast they can go, the scoreboards are so that if you go too fast they just read ** instead of the true value.

If you want to check the accuracy of your speedometer, you are best comparing it with the speed given on GPS devices, instead of the relatively short measurement taken by those radar boards.
