As far as i know these kind of sensors are in the ground all around the places..
Area around my work also has them, even if it’s jammed with trucks the waiting times are quite low.

We have SOME sensor based traffic signals in the UK, but none work quite so slick as these

Yeah come back when you have tested it in new york and in mexico, then you get my approval,
What if there is a bus stop at the lights(like most of london)? what do you do then?
