PositiveImpact Smart Traffic Management Systems (STMS) can lead to a significant reduction in congestion, which in turn lowers CO2 emissions from idling vehicles. Over 15 years, widespread adoption of STMS can create more efficient traffic patterns, reducing the environmental footprint of road transport and contributing to cleaner air and healthier communities. Additionally, by enhancing traffic flow, STMS can promote the use of alternative routes, potentially reducing wear and tear on existing road infrastructure, thus saving public funds for future generations.

NegativeImpact While STMS may initially reduce congestion, reliance on technology can lead to potential risks such as system failures, increased vehicle dependency, and reduced public investment in sustainable transport alternatives like public transport enhancements. Furthermore, if traffic management does not address the modal shift from private vehicles to public transport or other sustainable options, it may lead to stagnation in carbon emission reductions in the face of increasing vehicle registrations.
