Road smarts! Tech embedded in the road surface has helped cut the number of nose-to-tail crashes by 17.8%. We’re using special detectors at Melbourne's Power Street exit to measure the speed, volume and density of traffic, and when a queue builds up it triggers overhead signs to warn drivers – giving them more time to slow down. The data is also shared with traffic lights which can then be adjusted to allow more green light time if surrounding roads are clear. The result is a safer, smoother and faster experience for motorists – with the average speed on the exit ramp increasing by almost 5% in the morning peak.
Interesting I was on westconnex yesterday
