Look pretty sinister.

I think they measure traffic flow and volume.

When you see "real time traffic info" on your sat nav (RTTI) it's from these.

Designed only to worry bods who (maybe) have reason to fear their (possibly) sinister purpose :laugh:

Seem to work, too

I was lead to believe that Tom Tom user data was used to determine traffic speed and I know Waze uses user data as well.
