Recently, we have seen the Amber Alert system save lives by getting valuable information to freeway drivers. TLMS could work in conjunction with that system and speed the delivery time of information to drivers by extending the program to intersections within cities throughout the United States. This will encourage all citizens to help apprehend individuals who are attempting to avoid detection by taking side streets instead of freeways.

This traffic management system could help improve our nation’s Homeland Security as well. This system can alert drivers to changes in the recently initiated color-coded security levels and warn them of security checkpoints ahead. TLMS could also alert the motoring public in the event of a National crisis. The major advantage of this system is that the motorist is compelled to watch the red light (and the message board), thus commanding his or her attention. FEMA will co-ordinate drivers in real time in the event of massive evacuations necessitated by floods, hurricanes or even nuclear emergencies.
