Should the government invest in the development of smart transportation infrastructure?

Smart transportation infrastructure uses advanced technology, such as smart traffic lights and connected vehicles, to improve traffic flow and safety. Proponents argue that it enhances efficiency, reduces congestion, and improves safety through better technology. Opponents argue that it is costly, may face technical challenges, and requires significant maintenance and upgrades.

Only for workable plans.

 @BCMR6VV answered…2mos2MO

If there is clear plan and it will work, yes.

 @BC6JV9Banswered…3mos3MO

No this will increase car use. Gov should be doing everything possible to reduce car use and ease of use. For this reason congestion is preferable.

 @B8Y8J64answered…6mos6MO

No, it's not necessary however they can replace faulty infrastructure with smart transportation infrastructure with no deadline

 @B4XQCB8answered…1yr1Y

Yes, this should've been pursued by road departments decades ago and should already be far more in use than it is.

 @B4TTKRGanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but only if there is evidence for increasing efficiency and that the increased maintenance is worth the higher long-term cost

 @B4PLW8F answered…1yr1Y

No, invest in better public transportation for areas where congestion could be an issue.

 @B2CRG6Danswered…1yr1Y

No. Invest in Having fast safe driverless metro systems in Australian cities to reduce congestion and need to buy car. Sydney metro is great but finish it by 2035 not 2056
