New thing-a-ma-jigs on side of freeway?

Post by Turbo »

As the topic suggests, anyone know what these things are that they have put up in a few areas north and south of the river on the freeway?

I thought they might be putting up digital displays like near the tunnel but thats just a guess.

Hopefully someone knows what Im talking about.

Initially. But I think it's a safe bet they'll be used for static speed cameras in the near future.
