With the entry of Santiago to transition stage after more than 140 days in quarantine, the great concern is the agglomeration of people who may cause a regrowth.
For the same reason, the mayor Felipe Alessandri ad “an artificial intelligence plan in covid mode“, as indicated in his twitter account.
And it is that in conjunction with the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications, the municipality of Santiago will install two smart traffic lights, which will give the green light when seven people gather at a junction.
“It is part of the usefulness of having a Traffic control operating unit, not only here, but in many regional capitals. That gives us tools to manage movement and give preference to pedestrians“, said the minister Gloria Hutt.
Traffic lights will be installed at the corners of the Alameda with Smoked and in Bridge Walk with Ismael Valdes Vergara.
