They have them in the UK as well: on the M25 for example in the Heathrow <br>
area. But they really do vary here - they aren't just on/off but set the <br>
speed dynamically to try to improve traffic flow.<br>

There are also indicator sings on all UK motorways which can be used to <br>
display a variety of signs dynamically, including variable speed limits, <br>
in case of emergency. Often they will graduate downwards from some miles <br>
away from an incident to slow or stop traffic. As far as I can see I'm <br>
the only one who takes a blind bit of notice of these speed limits and <br>
people get annoyed with me when I do! Funny world.<br>
