Just how does New York City monitor all that traffic and congestion? It starts with the NYC DOT Traffic Operations managing traffic flow and parking for the safety of all street users. Located in Long Island City, Queens, the award-winning Traffic Management Center coordinates over 13,000 signalized intersections from one integrated system — where live video feeds trained on all major streets and arteries allow staff to monitor and respond to traffic conditions in real time. Making this advanced platform the largest traffic control system in the country.
Alongside the management of intersection signaling, the division also operates and maintains over 330,000 street lights, 80,000 pedestrian signals, 13,500 parking meters, over 250 speed cameras, and 36 municipal parking facilities.
Join us for a behind the scenes tour of the Traffic Management Center with Rachid Roumila, TMC Operations Manager, NYC DOT.
Admission is free but registration is required as space is limited. Tickets will become available on July 23 at 8 am.
