This document describes a speed checker device for highways that monitors vehicle speed and alerts traffic authorities of speed limit violations. The speed checker uses infrared sensors spaced 1 meter apart to measure the time it takes a vehicle to pass between the sensors. It then calculates the vehicle's speed and sounds an alarm if the speed exceeds the highway limit. This allows traffic authorities to be notified of speeding vehicles and helps reduce accidents. The speed checker provides a simple alternative to more complex radar and laser-based speed guns by measuring time of flight between two infrared beams to calculate a vehicle's speed as it passes.
