• Abstract:
  Traffic management systems, such as metering lights, ramp signals and ; stop signs and lights, have been in use for so many years that drivers now take them for ; granted. The planned introduction of Advanced Traffic Management Systems (“ATMS”) ; will have a profound impact on the driving environment. It will give drivers access to a ; vast array of real time information about traffic, highway conditions and safety tips that ; will allow for more efficient travel and improved safety, and permit drivers to respond to ; dynamic road conditions. Yet, while drivers will have much greater access to ; information about the roads on which they travel, they will retain full control over their ; vehicles and, like today, in most accidents will be primarily responsible.
