Californians
During my last trip to California, I noticed that there is some kind of detector (I think) about every mile on the highways. I've searched for a picture of what I'm talking/asking about, but can't find one. Each location seems to be identical, and includes a solar package and a white box thing that is pointing down toward the road. And, no, the white box does not appear to be a camera.
Californian CP'ers, have you seen these and do you know what they are, please? Thanks. |

That was my first guess and I've not been on a CA highway in some time.

Not sure what you are talking about. Can you go more in detail?

Other than the white box thing pointing at the roadway and a solar package, there really isn't much else to add. Both are on free-standing poles, however.

These aren't cameras. And, they are on the interstates (about every mile) not intersections.

I have a pretty good guess what they are, but I'm looking for confirmation.

Either some kind of speed/traffic sensor, or a sniffer.

About the size of a shoebox. Oh, and they are installed on I-5.
