A new high-tech traffic signal is being installed at the intersection of Technology Parkway and Technology Parkway South in Peachtree Corners. The new signal will create a place to test innovations like optimized cycle times, vehicle detection radar, pedestrian sensors and application interfaces, connected and autonomous vehicles, traffic counting devices and more.

The project is part of the city’s real-world test track environment, Curiosity Lab.

The new signal is intended to improve intersection traffic delays and pedestrian safety. It will also provide new opportunities for future smart city technologies development and deployment.
