    If only! Maybe vehicle detectors for traffic counting? With all the new buildings going up maybe they will need to put in new traffic lights?

    If it is a busy main road near a major city they could be air quality monitoring units gathering data.

    The data is used to devise a clean air zone charging regime,

    So, does that mean that you know what they are since you categorically state that it is none of the above?

    Sounds like everybody has wasted there time.

    In the absence of anything further from the OP, from a bit of googling, they look like 'Remote Traffic Microwave Radar Sensors' to me.

    Quite possibly. They look the same. So why so random? And why in place for so long? To whom would they report, and how?
