Some of the people who have to go to work will have seen them already, but while we are home because of the quarantine, DGT continues with the installation of new smart crossings that help manage traffic on secondary roads and that they have interesting features that are worth knowing.

The main reason for seeking to improve crossings and intersections on secondary roads is their high accident rate compared to other routes. Although they have less traffic, 62% of accidents with victims in interurban areas occur on this type of road, according to reports The vanguard.

In areas where smart crossings have been installed accidents with victims have been reduced by up to 65% and there are already 28 devices in our country.

On February 28, the Instruction 20 / TV-110 of the DGT that refers to smart junctions. The goal is to install light signals connected to detection sensors that warn of vehicles that they are going to enter the road through which they circulate.

In this image of the DGT you can see how it works.

As you can see, sensors are placed at post-signal crossings and if it is detected that there is a car, signal lights illuminate and alert the driver so you slow down and stay tuned. The aspect that will probably avoid any accident.

The signal warns by lighting the phrase in red Vehicle in crossing, that blinks thanks to the photovoltaic solar energy generated by the signal itself.

Ultimately, if you drive down secondary roads, you will likely encounter some of these smart junctions in the future. I’m sure they will be of great help to you.
