New Technology Along Ohio Highways to Warn of Slowed Traffic

ODOT expects the systems to be operational within the next two years

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will be installing new technology to detect traffic congestion and warn drivers of slow-downs.

The new warning systems will be installed at 13 highway sites that have been identified by ODOT as high-congestion, high-crash areas.

When cameras at the sites detect slow or stopped traffic, they will automatically trigger a message board a few miles away to alert drivers of the slowed-down traffic.
