Highway 5A is About to Get Safer
New technology will be implemented on Highway 5A that monitors commercial vehicles and improves safety for drivers and residents close to the route.
Weigh-in-motion and automatic vehicle-identification systems will monitor commercial vehicles at highway speeds using sensors built in and above the highway. The sensors will measure real-time safety and vehicle data, such as weight, height, and tire conditions. This data will then be compared against enforced standards.
