New York, NY - New Signs on Major Roadways
New York, NY - New York City will be installing new signs on major highways. The signs will forecast real-time information from point-to-point computed from Easy Pass technology and displayed on thoroughfare message boards.
The duration of time between various points in the city will be based on the average time it took other drivers with Easy Pass tags to make the trip.
Beginning sometime around the new year, the program will be tested on the Staten Island Expressway. Later the Belt Parkway and the FDR Drive will be added before it is made available throughout the city's five borough's in about three years.

It doesnt take a brain Surgeon to put up a receiver above any overpass on the belt and 5 miles down another receiver and bingo you have your real time info.....however the problem is that NYC will then have an ez pass tag # and they can easely determine if your speeding and they know exactly who to ticket, just a thought that maybe its worthwhile keeping your tag in your armrest until needed

I totally agree with Anon 1:02, this the start of the end.
Next they will implant a chip in your hand to detect sidewalk status and then we will be a bunch of robots

The ez pas system will be put up on the Belt Parkway but obviuosly NOT CHARGE you or anyone. Will only be used for the computer part of it. With technology anyhting is possible. This is an amazing system. I have seen it and it will work effectivly for highway use and NOT using side roads in order to save more time.
