Abstract
A linear roadway sensor in which a distributed weight member has a weight per unit length which is sufficient to maintain the sensor on the roadway and substantially immune to air effects generated by vehicular traffic on the roadway. A method of safely installing the sensor is to pivot one end at the edge of the roadway and then swing the sensor on an arc then allowing the weight to maintain the sensor on the roadway.
