The system allows trucks to keep traffic lights green so they can pass through a 25-mile trial site comprising three freight routes.


The three-month project has been initiated by Transport for New South Wales and Roads and Maritime Services. The routes are located at Pennant Hills, Parramatta and King Georges roads.
