This. Is. Amazing.
Montréal suburb has a school zone traffic light that only turns green when its camera detects a car driving under the speed limit.
The light is on a 90-day trial, on a 2-lane residential street. Similar signals are widespread in Europe.
Before installation, vehicles averaged 40 km/h. But in the past week, average speed has dropped to 29 km/h.
