Sharjah: Now, drive through multiple green lights 'without stopping' as smart signals launched

Sharjah has launched a set of smart traffic signals using tech such as sensors and detectors that monitor traffic volumes and adjust signal timings accordingly.

This means vehicles can pass through multiple green lights without stopping, provided they maintain a speed between 40kmph to 50 kmph. The smart signals comes under the “Green Traffic” initiative which helps reduce harmful emissions caused by frequent stopping and starting.
