In response to growing concerns about the safety of Peddem junction, the MLA of Aldona constituency Adv Carlos A Ferreira informed that the government has taken decisive action by approving the installation of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) traffic signals equipped with cameras. This move comes amid heightened risks associated with the reduced height of the rumbler strips, coupled with the prevalence of speeding vehicles in the area.
Acknowledging the potential dangers, authorities have expedited the process to address the traffic-related challenges at Peddem junction. The decision to implement AI-powered traffic signals is seen as a significant step towards enhancing safety and ensuring smoother traffic flow at the busy intersection.
The state-of-the-art traffic signal system is set to arrive from Chennai, and installation is expected to commence within the next two months. The inclusion of AI technology will not only regulate traffic effectively but also provide additional surveillance capabilities through integrated cameras. This initiative aims to bolster overall safety measures and reduce the likelihood of accidents at the junction.
