Smart transportation infrastructure uses advanced technology, such as smart traffic lights and connected vehicles, to improve traffic flow and safety. Proponents argue that it enhances efficiency, reduces congestion, and improves safety through better technology. Opponents argue that it is costly, may face technical challenges, and requires significant maintenance and upgrades.

Political party:
The government should invest in the development of smart transportation infrastructure when it is appropriate.
Yes, We should explore the option or invest on a state or city level before going all in. Explore viability. But info structure does need updating
Depending on what it is. With regards to mass public transit, yes. For autonomous personal vehicles? They should be EXTREMELY heavily regulated in scope and distance.
Need examples of what the “smart” technology is. If it’s things such as solar or nanotechnology roadways, then no.
Yes, and while doing so the government should ensure all possible measures to protect, ensure, and enforce privacy with these technologies.
No, the government should look at other contries' infrastructure such as traffic circles and implement proven solutions instead
No, investing in public transportation would be preferable
I believe having more alternatives to regular traffic is a better solution, than spending billions and restructuring existing highways that already have a high cost of maintenance.
The government should continue to watch over these issues and slowly implement them to see if they result in improvement, if it does not recede investments.
It seems like a great idea, but there are still some flaws regarding smart transportation infrastructure.
Yes, begin implementing them on new vehicles and upgrade infrastructure through maintenance projects.
