Excuse me, will I be heavily fined for speeding in Austria ?

We were speeding the whole way, and all the cars on the road were speeding.
Austrian highways are fine at 130 km/h. But when you get off the highway, you have to pay attention to all kinds of speed limit signs. I encountered two roadside police checks in Austria, and all the cars immediately braked and slowed down. This shows that Austrians are also afraid of speeding fines. And the location where the police take photos is always a little past the sign that requires deceleration, which is difficult to see in advance.
Police speed tests are always behind the overpass, it seems to be a fixed point that locals all know. When you get there, just slow down and follow the local cars. It's best not to speed, 130 km/h is not slow either. There's no rush when traveling, just take it easy and enjoy the scenery along the way.
