Default Belfast M1

Guys,

Heading towards Lisburn, there are two cameras just before the first Lisburn turnoff. Anyone know what these are?

They look like car tax cameras.

Also on the way back to Belfast, just after the new motorway sliproad(coming back from Dublin) there are another two cameras.

BEW, if they were for monitoring traffic, I'd have though that they would be like the cameras on the M3.

The more I think of it, they look VERY like the car tax cameras that stick out the back of those wee vans.

But surely they wouldn't stick these on the fecking motorway?

they are traffic monitoring cameras. I called traffic branch a few weeks ago to tell them that some gimp was reversing back along the motorway having missed the sliproad. They said - "we know, we are watching him, by the way, you shouldn't be driving and holding your phone" These seem to be the only cameras in the area, so i reckon it was them
