The wire loops I know about use 60Hz AC and measure inductance. I believe that this would make them unsuitable as speed measurement devices since measurement would extend over a number of cycles. They might work if they were widely separated but you would have to be sure there was only one vehicle generating the peaks. I'd stick with the speed detector radar for now to explain the overhead doo-dads. m
