I think they are just used to monitor the traffic flow. There is a database of traffic conditions run, I think, by the AA or the RAC. They sometimes have displays up in Motorway Service Stations showing the road conditions on motorways throughout the country. I imagine that that is what at least some of the cameras are there for.
Next time you see one, give a smile :)

These camera are used for suicide watch! we have them in our town because people have been known to jump off!! a few years back the summations would walk back and forward over the bridge at night to keep watch but these days they use cameras and if the suspect someone could jump they send the police!!

If you have a trafficmaster or subscribe to a traffic info service on your GPS unit, these are the sensors that provide info to those services
