As of this month, the council said detectors would be fitted to traffic lights, bollards and other street furniture on the A59 into York. The sensors will track drivers so traffic lights can be changed to ease congestion, as well as gathering data to help design future junctions and roads. The council said the data would be "stored in a secure cloud subject to UK government security principles". It said its system would also be able to communicate with driverless cars in the future. Mr Dew said: "We have to use technology as much as tarmac to get our network fit for the whole of the 21st Century. "What happens on York's roads over the next couple of years will help define how traffic is managed in the UK."
