Sounds similar to the ones on the M4 bridges around Swansea / Cardiff.

Noticed them on the Rally GB.

We had a Bell 330 and Geodesy in car, never went off (Geodesy had been updated Thursday so the downloaded database was almost bang upto date).

Apologies - posted this in the General Questions section but received little attention - thought there might be some local interest here?

Has anyone else seen the new bridge-mounted cameras (across all three lanes) both north and south bound between M5-M42 Jn and M5 Jn5? They're not SPECs, nor are they Traffic Master (unless its a new design). They seem to have a sensor and video attached and have appeard over the past few days. Anyone know of their purpose?

Phil,

I spotted some new ones as well M42 southbound just south of Tamworth Jcn with A5, not like other specs devices nor like traffic master, I don't have a detector so can't tell you if they have any output but sound just like the ones you mentioned.

Does anyone know ???
