New camera's on A1?????

[david87M3]

Afternoon,
Anyone know what the new camera's are on the A1 near Metrocentre? there is one near the Swalwell turn off, And one as you join the A1 heading south at the metrocentre.
New poles seem to be springing up at Blaydon turnoff as well

They'll have to set them at 2mph to catch anyone there, it's like a car park most of the time

When did they go in then? Didnt notice anything last time I was up that way, about a week ago. What do they look like? Are they on overhead gantries, or are they like gatsos? Could they not just be ANPR cameras like they have in Newcastle?

Passed them the other day... although it was dark and foggy... but they possibly look like ANPR cameras to me.
