Answer 4

They sound like the "Yellow Vultures" we have at the M27 roadworks at the moment, if so they are average speed cameras and track your time between each camera so that if you don't maintain an average that is on or below the limit you get a fine. This is done to stop people going through cameras at the correct speed but speeding up between them.

are you talking about the ones that is monitoring the speed and traffic queue where the roadworks are between junction 6 and 7?

Yes. They slow the traffic for thirty seconds then it all goes super fast breaking  the speed limit to make up  for the slowdown.

speed cameras and red light cameras.

Answer 9

They may be a form of speed camera called SPECS.

These are cameras that measure average speed over a distance and are often used at motorway roadwaorks.

They take the form of tall posts with three cameras spaced along a stretch of road. They note vehicles at the start and end of a stretch of road, note the time a vehicle takes between them and can determine an average speed.

So if there is a speed limit of 50mph on a stretch of road with these cameras on, keep to the limit for the whole length or you could get a ticket.

Answer 10

These are speed cameras.  They work on the equation of time   over distance = speed.  They film you going into the speed restricted zone and film you going out.  If you get through too quickly the camera will know you have speeded and issue a ticket.

Answer 11

They could be traffic cams?
