You can thank wireless technology for the new traffic control measure.
The city has put a series of sensors in the pavement to measure how fast a car is going, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported on Tuesday.
Two electronic signs warn drivers that "Speeding Triggers Red Light," and officials say the sensors are spaced in a way that allows drivers enough time to brake for the light.

That might not be a bad idea. Perhaps it would prevent some serious accidents resulting in speeders.
I like it.
Order a dozen for Salisbury!!
I'd drive fast just to piss everybody off.
A properly timed set of lights reduces gridlock and takes away any benefit of speeding. Having any light go "off time" will just cause major traffic jams. Ever come to Naylor Mill @13 right after an ambulance went through? You're going to sit through about 3 cycles before it gets back to normal.
Timing them, however takes brains and talent, so this may be a reason to buy such an item.
