Pennsylvania to deploy tech that gathers real-time ELD data to extend green lights for commercial vehicles
Finally!
Someone who lives in the real world has put actual thought into both how long a truck takes to mosey through an intersection and the costs of having these same trucks sit idle at these stoplights not delivering their loads sooner.
Stop lights with trucks in mind

Hmmm... and how long til folks start getting tickets in the mail for averaging 2mph over between lights?
Good idea in theory. But I can see that getting abused.Oxbow and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
Sharing real time ELD speed and location data with a government agency ... what could go wrong ?

Let me guess, they'll be getting the ELD info from Highway after they've sold it to municipalities?
Oxbow, 86scotty, gentleroger and 5 others Thank this. -
Look at how nany stupid intersections they create on a regular basis now.
Let's stop 20 vehicles on a seconds notice to let one move out and we already have the sensors, cameras in the ground and on the poles!
The dumbest, most incompetent person I ever had the displeasure of meeting and trying to work with was a traffic engineer.D.Tibbitt, Flat Earth Trucker and TheLoadOut Thank this. -
This seems like a waste of funds. I can understand folks trying something.....I just laugh because that extra 5 to 7 on a green light is really going to keep trucks moving. My load is going to get there so much faster now. I can't wait. If one green light don't get you, the next one will. I guess the government don't think there larger priorities.

I almost t-boned a guy probably 4 years ago where this happened. Guy sat in the intersection until I was right there then turned rigjt in front of me thinking my side was also turning yellow.
I had a green light and when I went thru intersection I noticed in my mirrors the opposite way was yellow then red... thought to myself someone is going to die right there eventually because of that stupidityFlat Earth Trucker Thanks this. -
D.Tibbitt and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.
