Sorry what do you mean by droids and not what we are looking for ?
It’s a Star Wars reference spoken by Ben Kenobi in one of the early (first?) films.

They do look sinister.

I know I’m on the opposite side of the planet (NZ) but the M3 doesn’t go to Bracknell.
Confused…
Do you mean M3 Lightwater, A329(M), M4 or what?

I’ve seen these cameras. I daily commute on the stretch of the m3 they are on. I was taking a sip of my coffee when I went past one. I then was thinking for the rest of the journey if these were the new mobile phone cameras so hopefully I don’t end up with a fine.

I've noticed some new cameras have appeared in the past week between the M25 and Junction 4A, both directions.

Firstly, yellow cameras on their own yellow support, a bit like those you'd find as average speed cameras on motorway works.

Secondly, some smaller cctv ones with solar panels at quite regular intervals.

What's going on? Are the new speed cameras there in preparation for work, or are they active now in addition to the regular gantry speed cameras.

I've read elsewhere that there will be 12 months of lane closure and highways work from junction 2 to 4a!

Oh great! I feared that might be the case.

It's no worse than when they were turning it into a "Smart" Motorway, but that took over 3 years IIRC. But why didn't they just put more in first time round? Talk about clueless. banghead

Yep ive seen these all around the M25 north as well. Must be over 30 of them on the north section, and they have also popped up on the M4 too heading into london.
From the writing on the boxes and the website address thats on them they seem to be some sort of remote CCTV device. But seems a tad excessive as they are every half a mile.
