New smart system to reduce queues at roundabouts

April 3, 2017

Long queues at certain approaches to some roundabouts could be reduced using magnetic detection devices under the road surface, which would activate a traffic metering signal at another, less congested approach.

Roundabouts allow for motorists to cross intersections without the need to stop before crossing in a safe and more efficient way.
