Usage of our roads and highways is constantly evolving due to changes in vehicle technology, population centers, and travel trends. Therefore, we must continuously reimagine the roadway network on which we travel.
We have many tools at our disposal to improve our roads. As technology in the transportation sector advances, we have increasingly sophisticated methods for tracking the movement of our population. The data we collect allows us to study trends and adjust to shifts in patterns in real-time, allowing travel to flow more freely and efficiently. Solutions can range from the simple re-timing of a traffic signal to the introduction of a roundabout or the redesigning of a highway interchange.
As long as roads exist, we must manage how we move upon them.
