crummer Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 So I didn't move around the city much during the winter but as the weather has gotten better and I venture out more I have noticed some type of new "traffic" monitoring system on the highways. My radar detector tells me they are monitoring speed via X-band somewhere around the 26.18 Mhz frequency. Anyone on know anything about it? Are they just monitoring average speed in general or is it something more? They seem to be monitoring in bottle neck areas or around interchanges.

Furloaf Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Could be civil engineering logistics studying. Calculating if adding a new lane or developing a side street or something would help traffic flow better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 WBNS' Traffic Reporting show "average" speed on all the major roads.... :nod: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crummer Posted April 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I searched the website, is there a map of these "monitors" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Not that I know of. I have never looked though. They have a map that shows traffic as Red, Yellow or Green. KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10phone2 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 My brother in law would know(civil engineer for Gahanna). I should bump into him next weekend. I think Furloaf is right. Cities study the most dangerous sections to find out where the most accidents are, what are the speed bottle necks, and think of ways to fix them.

IVRINGS Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I wonder if that is part of that system you see one the boards about avg time to get to different highways/interstates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So at midnight in Mexico with several cars traveling in the 60-160mph range, the ETA to downtown is lowered by dramatically by their average speed :ninja: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crummer Posted April 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Is this what you're looking for? http://www.buckeyetraffic.org/ From the looks of it everywhere there is a webcam there is a speed sensor associated with it. At least on 315 heading north out of DT and 670 & 71 West out to the west side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 These have been up for a long time. They are on 70, 71, 270, and 315. My detector goes off as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
