A means of measuring speed of a motor vehicle, consisting of two rubber hoses set across the highway at a measured distance, and so equipped and constructed that when the front wheels of a vehicle strike the first hose, a clock is set in operation, and when the wheels strike the second hose, the clock stops, so that a reading of the speed of the vehicle in miles per hour is recorded.
