Looks more like France to me, judging from the road sign. In fact I just passed a cow like that in France on my way home to Geneva.

Congrats Cees, you got it! But of course it is all satire and not real.  ;D

Thanks Alfred. It's exactly THAT cow that I wrote I passed yesterday, near Pontarlier in Doubs. What a coincidence. The max speed there is 70 and there are actually 'normal' radar installations just a bit passed where the cow is. The French have a habit of warning you with signs a few hundred meters before fixed/permanent radar detectors. But they also set up temporary ones regularly.

Watch out for the temporary ones, you could be tempted to to play a game of chicken!  :)
Des adaptations seront alors effectuées selon la faune domestique locale : bonjour faux moutons, fausses chèvres et poules factices !

I do have a soft spot for these French satirical magazines.
