Traffic camera behind Al Sarooj Plaza flashing randomly?

Yesterday around 5:00 PM, I was driving on the road behind Al Sarooj Plaza when a small white camera (not the usual cylindrical speed camera you see on the highways) flashed right in front of me, roughly where I've marked with the arrow in the picture.

It flashed a couple of times, seemingly at random. I'm pretty sure I wasn't speeding, and there wasn't any traffic signal nearby the next red light is much farther ahead.

I got curious, so I made a U-turn and drove back very slowly to check if I'd missed a red light or some other traffic control, but I couldn't find anything. The camera flashed again even though I was driving slowly.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a faulty camera, or could it be enforcing some rule that I'm unaware of?
