23 Jul Waiting for a red light in Miami? These cameras may have set it up that way

If all goes according to plan, sometime Monday morning an $11 million monitoring system linked to about 100 cameras suspended 20 feet in the air will take control of traffic lights at 34 intersections on U.S. 1 and start deciding which ones will turn green.

The switch along eight miles of U.S. 1 will bring the biggest test yet for Miami-Dade County’s effort to ease gridlock through “smart” traffic signals, phasing out a system where the switch from red to green runs on automatic cycles based on engineers’ best guesses of commuting patterns.
