I've seen Norway master this technique. Top of the hill: 90. Sloping downwards, getting steeper and steeper (like, super steep). Almost near the bottom: 70, 5 meters further a speed cam. And those slopes are no joke. You need to clear your ears, they are that high. By the way, those 70 signs aren't visible from far, due to the terrain and greenery. It's already hard staying at 90 with constant braking. So it's a new set of break pads after every step hill.

This wasn't just once, I've seen it many times during my holidays there, spread throughout the country.
