How are advanced traffic technologies enabling cities, and city streets, to catch up with 21st century? Cities all over the world are working to harness the power of data in ways that make curbs and streets smarter, safer and greener.

That’s why a growing number of cities are using sensors to help drivers navigate to the best parking space. This is the latest addition to a growing list of more than a dozen types of transactions which occur every day at the average street curb.
