You know the ones i'm talking about. You'll be driving down a road and all of a sudden there will be two black cables in the road, a foot apart, attached to a box at the side of the road.

What are these for? Speed or traffic volume? They've popped up EVERYWHERE in my local area recently.

I only ask because yesterday I saw a set of them where there is an existing speed camera. They were set up right where the white speed camera lines are. So I don't see why they would be looking to get average speed there and there would be no incentive to put a speed camera because there already was one.
 
So I was sitting at work (nowhere near home where I saw all the cables) yesterday and I looked out the window to my right. What do I see?

They're following me
