First thought was… these things represent a failing over-congested road transport system.. Only in America..

But NO…

How do the motorway to motorway ramp signals work?

Motorway to motorway ramp metering regulates the flow of traffic onto a motorway by releasing traffic onto the motorway at appropriate intervals.

Electronic message signs on the ramp let you know when motorway ramp signals are operational.

When the system is initially activated:

The yellow signal will flash for around 15 seconds. The traffic signals will then turn red and drivers on the entry ramp must stop. The traffic signals will then turn green long enough to allow one vehicle in each lane to join the motorway traffic. The traffic signals will then turn yellow and then red. The traffic signals will continue to switch between green, yellow and red to manage the motorway flow.

Only one vehicle in each lane can enter the motorway on a green signal which creates more space between vehicles joining the motorway and results in safer and easier merging with the motorway traffic.

The signals don’t operate all the time. Sensors in the road collect data like traffic volume and congestion so the system switches on automatically during heavy traffic periods such as peak period.

First I’d heard of such things. We don’t have traffic lights of roundabouts either.
