ricgem2002 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Newcastle council are trialling a device that keeps lights on green when approaching . it shows a ambulance driver getting patients to hospital on time ( not an emergency ambulance). this could benefit a lot of drivers to keep traffic flowing eg bus drivers/cabbies/lorry drivers etc. more here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-32187925 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ Hazzard Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 They will probably sell the device to wealthy people to stop them being inconvenienced by traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 They will probably sell the device to wealthy people to stop them being inconvenienced by traffic. Not likely. We're all in this together, remember? That these traffic lights tell you the correct speed to drive at in order to get through on green is a great idea - no need to exceed the speed of sound to get through a green light when you're still a hundred metres away. In some parts of continental Europe, the traffic lights work on a similar principle. Drive through them at the speed limit, and they'll all be green as you arrive. Exceed the speed limit, and they'll turn red to force you to slow down or stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well, if it encourages people to slow down as they approach Gosforth High St. from the Blue House roundabout, it can only be a a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
