Interstates for about 60 miles surrounding Detroit all have camera towers at virtually every interchange, with microwave transmitters and most with solar panels. The primary purpose, ostensibly, is to monitor traffic conditions, so that drivers can be advised of backups and alternate routes. These cameras seem too few and too far to get license plates. They could probably be used to keep an eye out for colors and models of vehicles, but that would probably be the extent of their surveillance capability.
A bank of six cameras on an overpass though, that's different. I agree, it has to be to identify vehicles, whether in real time or for later processing as needed. Sounds intriguing.
