I was in Huntsville yesterday and happened to notice several cameras mounted on traffic signals. WTF is up with that? Are those some traffic cams for a local media outlet, or are those the kind of cameras that'll get ya ticket if yer breakin' the law?

The City of Huntsville has started work on an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). A contract has been awarded to Gresham, Smith, and partners to design the architecture necessary for implementing the system. Using fiber optics, computers, and cameras, Traffic Engineers can monitor an intersection remotely and make changes to the timings and sequencing of the signals. The ITS program ties all of the traffic signals together and allows the Traffic Engineers to communicate with the signals from a central command center.
