MINHANG District police are upgrading traffic lights in major intersections to improve traffic efficiency and safety, they said yesterday.
The new control system can change traffic lights according to real-time vehicle flow instead of switching at fixed intervals. Police said it would greatly improve traffic control and reduce congestions.
Traffic lights at 99 crossroads will be controlled by the new system.
Meanwhile, traffic direction boards will be erected at intersections between Humin and Guangtong roads; Xinsong and Xinfu roads, Humin and Chunshen roads, Qixin and Gudai roads; and Humin and Xinjian roads to provide real-time traffic information in the area, showing motorists directions, time estimation and congestion alert.
The whole project of installing new traffic lights will be finished by the end of June, Minhang police said.
