Also, a quick Google search on radar speed signs gives a lot of testaments to them being pretty accurate, much more accurate than a dial on a car that's measuring drivetrain rotation, and it'll only be accurate if you have the appropriate tire size to correctly match the drivetrain rotation being measured.
Cops also dont pull you over for going just a little over the speed limit because they know these instruments arent 100% accurate.

Thats what I've heard everywhere at least.
