A9, four strips in the road, is it a camera?

went north up the A9 over the weekend. most of the road is a 60 limit yet plagued by people who drive at 45-50 mph. so to get past one of these i gave it a bit of stick and crossed over 4 strips in the road during a safe overtaking period. this is on a long bit of straight at the southern end of the road. there is a gatso near by but the strips didn't seem to be connected with it.

what are these strips for, is it a camera? should i expect the worst?

i think it was on the long straight before dunkeld. road is wooded on both sides. gentle hill up going north. iirc, gatso on north bound side. bit worried as i was going pretty quick, though slowing down after passing a 45 mph numpty.

if the road is 60, why do people dander along at 45-50? it is just so irritating, get up to the speed limit, they should be NIP'd for making insufficient progress.

they were rubber strips embedded in the road, not the ones stapled onto the road. i suspect it might be a Tri-eye digi camera. i am back up that way soon so will stop and have a proper look. if i get a NIP, i will know it was a camera!
