M27 nr Fareham, Laser

[marlboro]

My radar detector picked up Laser from a forward facing device on a gantry along the M27 near Fareham.

Anyone know what these devices are?

Thanks for the tip, I travel that section every day, cannot confirm it, but there have been roadworks along the side of the road for the last 3 months, so very possible.

They look like a normal CCTV camera with a single laser detector. I guess it maybe one of the Tax disc checking systems.

Hope so, I was using my Chim at the time, know what I mean.

Thanks for that Mungo, my tax disc is valid.

Glad to hear they are doing such checks. Most drivers that don't have tax will not have insurance. Get the b**tards. We all pay for claims from un-insured drivers.

I think they're the speed/traffic count sensors that are used to control the traffic lamps on the slip roads... quite harmless but sure get laser detectors excited, as do some of the trafficmaster sensors.
