BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Ada County Highway District is abandoning an adaptive traffic light program that was supposed to reduce congestion at busy intersections, saying it caused more problems than it fixed.
KTVB-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1kCn1YX ) that ACHD spokeswoman Nicole DuBois says the sun glare, fog and other problems stopped the mounted cameras from accurately counting how many cars were stopped at a light. The system was supposed to give green lights to cars when there was no traffic coming, but the inaccurate counts stopped that from happening.
