instead of flaggers staring at their phones…

This was on North Valley Road I think it was in Tredyffrin. Instead of just flaggers mostly not paying attention to anything other than their phones, they had these machines with gate arms and flags and cameras etc. and the traffic flowed remarkably well.

I don’t know about you, but usually when you get stuck in one of these lines with flaggers, it’s not particularly relaxing. And I have to be honest for the first time it was like traffic slowed. It worked, and you didn’t feel like someone was going to come out you head on because they got tired of the flaggers.

When I initially posted this, I was told that they use this in Europe and Canada as a system. And the project we were driving through seems to be the installation of new utility poles and moving lines off of old poles onto the new polls.

Have a great afternoon.
