Toll plaza metering contract awarded for Bay Bridge
San Francisco Bay Bridge toll plaza gets a new signal panel by Abbett Electric Corp. The system, with 18 lights controlled by roadway sensors and microcomputers, will sequence red and green signals to match a five-lane deck capacity of about 9,000 vehicles per hour. Lights mount southwest of toll booths on a 220 foot suspended structure, the largest of its kind on any roadway, aimed at easing bottlenecks at the five to 17 lane merge and shaving a bit of morning commute time.
