The Authorities kindly put posts up, by the side of the roads and Motorways. On it, is a big metal disc, it’s mainly white but has a red perimeter. Within the white part, is a number in black. That’s a clue to the maximum speed for that following section of road.
I assume your clever post is regarding posts on this thread regarding speed cameras in France, these posts advise to drive both safely and avoid unnecessary speeding tickets, I hope drivers already know the information your post tries to imparts. Let me correct you it is
impossible, not
nearly impossible, that is in country's that have the described signs at every change of speed limit.
France does not have the described signs at every change of speed limit. France has wide open straight roads with no traffic do not help you control your speed, even without lock down, anyone crossing France need to be aware.

Remember all governments have a lot of money to recoup so it's going to be easy targets first.
Yes all this information is correct and if you can collate it all for a journey across France it may help but it may take longer that the journey, speed camera do follow signs maybe miles later on either side of the road.
I think your last sentence of your post may be very pertinent for all journeys once lock downs are lifted.
Moettennis go safely and lets hope the situation in the end avoids travel with its pitfalls, but if you need to go you are allowed to travel.
