Blimps Will Soon Hover Over US Highways And Monitor Traffic Around The Clock

Next time you're on the highway and see one of those "Speed Monitored by Aircraft" signs, look up—the United States is getting its first, persistently airborne traffic-monitoring blimp.
The lucky winner of this piece of spy tech is the Ohio Department of Transportation. This week, ODOT purchased a $200,000 "Blimp in a Box" from a company called the Drone Aviation Corp. Though the state hasn't specifically decided what to use it for, issuing speeding tickets from 1,000 feet in the air—and five miles away—is certainly on the table.
"They mentioned monitoring agriculture, monitoring large gatherings,penitentiaries, and monitoring traffic," Dan Erdberg, an official with the company, told me. "There are a ton of applications."
The Blimp in a Box is the second such traffic drone sold to a civilian organization in the United States, according to Erdberg. The first one was sold to police in Tennessee. Officials with the Ohio Department of Transportation did not respond to my email to learn more about how they plan on using the blimp.
