speed check

Pace assessment device

A speed check is a verification of how fast something is moving.

Most often it refers to police monitoring traffic speed, whether by radar gun, camera, or other device: There's a speed check ahead—slow down.

The term also applies to testing internet connection speeds or equipment performance.

In sports, a speed check may be an official measurement of a pitch or serve.
