[Electronics-talk] Traffic signal app

[Drew Hunthausen]

There's not much technology that benefits everyone equally. Just like
iPhones or other devices that come out with upgrades all the time, if you
don't have the latest there are going to be certain things you can't do that
others can.

But it would only benefit the people with smart phones and leave the rest of
us out.  Pam.

Hi Tracy,

I agree that having such an app would be extremely helpful. I really don't
like the audible signals that are currently in use, but I think a smart
phone app is a great idea.
It would also benefit us since cars are much quieter now. Also, we have to
contend with annoying, turning traffic.

Best

Liz

Someone said they'd heard about work on an app to identify when a traffic
light was walk or don't walk.  Anyone know any more about this?  I keep
thinking how useful that would be.  As I'm getting older, I don't hear the
traffic changes as well as I used to.  And an app seems a lot cheaper than
putting in audible signals.  And I keep hearing about traffic signals having
all kinds of "smart" things built in, so maybe an app could build on
something already there.
