Anyone seen these new style small white cameras that are popping up,

They tend to place three of them across the bar and mostly seen them by gatso cameras. So far west london, hayes bypass and some north london...

 

does anyone know what they are being used for? cant be speeding if they are facing the oncoming driver.. unless these are some new hi tech stuff...

Are they on a yellow bar/frame? Sounds like an average speed camera to me. Tend to place them on roadworks at the start and end and a few between if its a big stretch. Means you cant speed and then slow down at the camera as it remembers what time you passed the others and will fine you if you got there too quick :angry:
