Through its vehicle-to-everything technology, snowplow drivers can get the green light at intersections to spend more time clearing roads and less time at stoplights.
The technology, also called V2X, allows snowplows to communicate directly with traffic signals and roadside equipment to reduce traffic delays and clear roads faster during winter storms.
UDOT has equipped almost 260 snowplows and nearly 1,300 traffic signals on winter routes across the state to help in the effort.
