Lehaut Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thought I would start a thread a reverse fashion, so no you are not missing something! Around us on the dual carriage ways, there are a lot of new gantries white, with lights, lasers (I think) and other stuff. Have not known what they were, nor met anyone who did. An article in the local paper cleared the matter up. Anyone else notice them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ah.

Lehaut Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Ah interesting. We are just back from a week touring the coast of Brittany, near Paimpol. There we saw Omega signs in paint on the tarmac on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 In UK, white squares are painted on major roads a set distance apart. This allows police vehicles to calculate average speed over a known distance from video evidence whilst following speeders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 Ah. I thought it was going to be an explanation for this story that has been runnng for a bit in Ouest France:Well that one is now solved!On nous a répondu que cinquante carrés blancs du même type ont été peints ces temps derniers dans la presqu’île de Rhuys mais aussi sur la voie verte entre Questembert et Mauron. IGN a ainsi prébalisé des points de repérages pour mener prochainement une campagne de photos aériennes dans notre département Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
