More Traffic Cameras -- that don't take your picture

Gwinnett transportation officials received formal approval this summer to install more traffic cameras and fiber-optic cables to monitor traffic flow and allow real-time, remote control adjustments from the Gwinnett Traffic Control Center in two congested areas. These traffic cameras are not the same as the red light cameras that snap photos of the license plates of drivers who run red lights.

A six-mile stretch of Pleasant Hill Road between Lawrenceville Highway/U.S. 29 and Buford Highway/U.S. 23 will get the new traffic-management equipment, as will almost three miles of Buford Drive/State Route 20 between I-985 and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard near the Mall of Georgia.

Instead of just hopping in your car and hoping you dont end up in a traffic jam, county officials want you to plan your commute by checking live streaming traffic feeds that can be viewed on the GC Smart Commute web site.

I'll let you know when there's an app

Approximately 115 cameras are currently operating in Gwinnett County, with a total of 175 expected to be operating within the next several years. Eighty percent of the money for this installation comes from state transportation funds and the rest from Gwinnett's 2009 SPLOST sales tax program. Perhaps they can find funds to develop an app, too so we can check even when we arent in front of a computer.
