For the next six weeks, motorists along eastbound state Route 78 from Vista to Interstate 15 will see a series of electronic signs telling them to slow to a specific speed, then to speed up again.
It’s part of a pilot study aimed at synchronizing traffic in an effort to reduce bottlenecks that happen every rush hour, but will depend on at least partial compliance of drivers to make it work.
The California Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Institute of Transportation Studies and the University of California Berkeley, is conducting the Variable Speed Advisory project, which it hopes could lead to reduced delays on area freeways.
