Lights on M4
 
Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone knew what the sets of small orange and blue lights
are, on the M4 section approx J1-J3. They are mounted on the central
lamp-posts, and are quite small. Never seen them working.

Also, on the eastbound (Londonbound) side, one of the gantries at about J3
had what looked like a very small set of traffic lights (only two lights
though) mounted on the right hand side upright, approximately 6' off the
ground. I dont' suppose anyone knows what these might be?

Cheers

JP

From the location, they must be connected with the bus lane, but I can't
imagine exactly what they are.

Are they fixed to the lampposts? If so, I think they pre-date the bus
lane, but I can't remember what they are for.

As far as I can remember, they are only on the bit to the east of the bus
lane, when the m/way goes to 2 lanes. There's a blue one on one side, and
an orange one on the other side. For some reason they reminded me of the
ones on top of the big-ass electric fence in jurassic park when the kid gets
blown off.
