Just caught this on a Babbler Board - solar powered radar drones being installed along Nor Cal roads.

Here's what a friend found on the Los Altos police page:
Radar Drones - A radar device that is mounted on a utility pole or in a parked vehicle, which emits a constant radar signal intended to activate radar detectors used by motorists to avoid speeding citations. Pros - Relatively inexpensive devices that do not require constant monitoring by police personnel. Will encourage compliance with speed laws by drivers using radar detectors. Cons - Of little value in metropolitan areas due to the limited effectiveness of radar detectors in high-volume traffic environments. The common use of radar equipment by municipal police, sheriff and Highway Patrol departments in these areas provides fairly constant propagation of radar signals that activate radar detectors regardless of whether radar is being used in the immediate area for speed measuring purposes.
