Technology to keep traffic moving
Le Devoir looked into how the city is using traffic light timing to keep traffic moving. It’s interesting to know that it’s the major north-south streets that are given priority, among other things.

I know traffic lights that have many hours per day a cop pressing a button to extend green cycles. In construction zones, but also elsewhere. What a waste of money, a robot could do this. Or it could be done from a distance if traffic lights were linked and computerized. But they’re not, and never will be, because even new or upgraded roads get old fashioned traffic lights with one control box per intersection.

I’ve noticed this living by Ave du Parc. It takes way longer to wait for the light to change in order to cross Parc compared to the intersecting east-west streets.
