Re: What the Hell is going on 95?



I've been noticing those funny black boxes on the overpasses 
as well (e.g., on one of the rt. 50 flyovers on the inner loop 
of the beltway) and have been wondering what new "Big Brother" 
tactic this involves. It's interesting that these boxes seem 
to be effecting radar detectors.

This is only a guess, but in the Annapolis Capital newspaper 
there was an article (about a week ago) about some 
computerized MDOT traffic analysis system. These boxes may be 
part of the sensor technology attached to such a system.

Sure would be nice if they'd make their results available on 
the web (a-la the San Diego traffic system). That way we would 
be able to monitor the highways and pick the best time to go 
where ever we're going.
