I saw a good article on c/upliftingnews about AI improving traffic signal controllers. It’s good and all, I just can’t help but think of the “look at what they need to have a fraction of our power” meme while reading it

And they take up a lot more space than traffic lights.
The trade off for improved traffic flow is worth it unless space is at a premium, which tends to be the case in high density cities.
True, they do take up more space. Not sure a normal intersection cannot be converted though, there’s pretty small roundabouts here too.
Sao Paulo have a lot of them on the middle of some high density neighborhoods, they work great as traffic calm measures because you can’t blast though a street because they are a roundabout on each intersection.
