Pasco County and the Florida DOT (FDOT) are expecting to activate a new traffic management system this week.
The $5.7 million intelligent transportation system (ITS) features 27 cameras and 66 upgraded traffic signals at three of Pasco County’s busiest roads. Fiber optic cables connect the cameras and signals, which analyze traffic patterns and adjust signals to reduce congestion. The system will likely reduce congestion immediately, but may take months to fully learn the roads’ traffic patterns.
