OAKLAND'S SIGNAL SYSTEM IS GASOLINE SAVER FOR DRIVERS

The interconnect traffic signal system that is currently in operation in Oakland County, Michigan is designed to reduce the amount of gasoline wasted by frequent stops and starts at traffic lights. It is estimated by the Auto Club that 48,000 gallons of gas a day are wasted by unnecessary stops. The interconnect system not only will reduce this waste, but will also expedite the safe flow of traffic, thereby reducing the number of accidents as well. The system is already operating effectively on several major roads in the county, and the Road Commission has plans to implement several others in the coming year.
