Visit to the centre with city manager Lucian Morgovan. He describes induction loops in the asphalt that count cars and give side streets access, says the system was designed on traffic values that no longer match current traffic, that timing adjustments are still under way and that some junctions will need purchases not foreseen in the original project. The article notes the system worked with major problems right after it was switched on.
