Caltrans ranks it as the worst traffic in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Caltrans and regional transportation groups are kicking off an $80 million dollar project to improve that stat – not through new freeways lanes but through technology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weekday or weekend, the traffic is almost constant between the Carquinez Bride and Bay Bridge – as I found when I tried to get to the midday press conference about that very subject on Friday.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coincidence wasn’t lost on Bijan Sartipi, director of Caltrans District 4. “There are 290,000 cars that travel through this corridor every single day. And every single what you see behind me does occur, which is congestion,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers don’t lie – add up all the time lost by each car and it’s more than 7,500 hours of delay each day, not to mention the added air pollution. But with San Francisco Bay on one side and buildings on the other, there’s no room to widen the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

If a lane is closed, you will see a red X mark in that lane.” That will move cars out of lanes with accidents. The signs will also have changing speed limits, so cars slow down more gradually to improve traffic flow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Project number three\u003c/strong>: Traffic signal coordination with the main parallel route, San Pablo Avenue, so street traffic doesn’t back up there.

These real-time techniques have been proven in other countries, he says, which are actually ahead of the Bay Area in adopting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just take the variable speed limits. “Conceptually it’s very easy for people to understand if you have a bunch of people running to certain point, you can see how that’s an unstable system. So if you’re preventing them from running that fast, you can see how you can smooth things out,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bayen says these tools won’t solve traffic problems long term with the Bay Area’s ever-growing population. There's a mathematical limit on the number of cars a freeway can handle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But engineers have more tricks to try before giving in to gridlock: Someday self-driving cars could pick routes more logically than the most rational human.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
