Found this quote on the Highways agency web site. Might explain your query:-

M11 J6 - J9 INSTALLATION OF CCTV MASTS
Work to install CCTV masts, cables and safety fencing alongside the M11, between J6 and J9, is due for completion in April.
Once completed these cameras will help the Highways Agency to monitor and manage traffic flows.

M11 - TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE
Work continues on the major scheme to provide better information for drivers on the M11. Electronic message signs and a queue protection system to warn drivers of slower traffic ahead will be installed between Junction 6 (M25) and Junction 8 (Stansted) in Essex. CCTV coverage is also being provided to help Traffic Officers deal with incidents more quickly.
The work covers 15 miles of the M11 from one mile south of Junction 6 (M25) to two miles north of Junction 8 (Stansted). All the signs will be installed in the verges with work being undertaken from the hard shoulder.

The squares might be some kind of mounting for the cameras ?
