It's the 21st century and all of this programming is totally possible! In NYC for whatever reason it can't. I mentioned 258th and Hillside which is under a mile from the border with Nassau County. On the other side of the border you have lots more dynamic programming for traffic signals, for example. . .Flashing yellows at night. . . Live sensing of left-turning vehicles to determine whether to extend or cut short the green turn arrow. . . Live sensing of vehicles on a side street that can determine whether the main road traffic needs to be stopped (if the side street vehicle is able to do a legal right-on-red and keep moving, no need to stop the main road's traffic). . . . . .and probably some other things I'm not thinking of. But because 258th/Hillside is on the Queens side it can't see such programming. I can't think of an example but I think there are places where there'd be a blinking yellow/red and if the signal "notices" that the car on the side-street with the blinking red is struggling to make its move for a certain amount of time, the signal will convert on the spot to a normal signal and give the side-street car a quick green. |
