• 🇨🇴 Medellín: SIMM Intelligent Mobility System & Traffic Control Center Both run centrally watched camera networks where staff, not software, retime signals by hand — San Jose's spans four provinces since 2007.
• 🇹🇷 Istanbul: Istanbul Traffic Control Center & Adaptive Signals (İSBAK) Both centralise traffic signals from one control room — Istanbul's adaptive ATAK cut delays 15-30%, San Jose's sat unrepaired for two years.
• 🇺🇬 Kampala: Kampala Traffic Control Centre (MODERATO) Different funding, same idea: San Jose's signal network came from MOPT and a local contractor, Kampala's from Japan's JICA-funded MODERATO.
