    You could always turn off your radar dector and just drive at the speed limit. :rolleyes:

    Still does not satify the Op's curiosity... If they are emitting radar I would love to know what they are.. :confused:

    Thats my theory alright

    but they normally use the strips accrss the road for that but i suppose it being a dual carraigeway it wouldn't be feasible or safe
