Um...stop lights on the on ramp!?

[Vteckidd]

The on ramp traffic lights worked great in bigger cities, studies have proven it.

but they only work when used properly. Most people get lazy, and just dont stop and roll through the light, so in effect, they do nothing.

They started mounting cameras on the lights when i left Phoenix so they could give tickets to people who didnt stop.

Id like to hear the cost of the lights vs widening highways and see the data.

Someone said the traffic lights cost a couple million.

A normal intersection the last time I checked was up to $250,000+...depending on the size and complexity of the intersection. I'm sure these lights would be considerably less considering it's essentially only 1 sensor vs. at least 4 not including turn lanes.

I don't recall sensors be layed at the end of the onramps or in the freeway/expressway/highway lanes so I'm sure they are tied into the Georgia Navigator camera radar system to determine the flow...

they are putting sensors on the onramps just to let you know
