The general survey is being carried out as part of the smart traffic lighting project on main roads, which will be implemented in the next municipal administration.
Director of the Comprehensive Road Maintenance System (SIMV), Roberto Escalante González reported that through this survey the dimensions, needs and amount of investment that must be made will be known.
The mayor, Román Alberto Cepeda, mentioned that smart traffic lights on the streets of Torreón will be one of the main measures that will be developed in the next government that will start in 2025.
In this regard, the director of the organization reports that Independencia Boulevard is practically the only street that has this type of traffic light system, hence the importance of more main roads having this technology, which allows a more agile vehicle flow and reduced travel times.
He realized that even on major roads, some traffic light systems were outdated, making the project even more important.
In Torreón there are more than 400 traffic light intersections, between motorways, roads, motorways, etc.
