Default Camera like sensors on top of traffic lights

Sensors / detectors are a very good idea and should be put into all
signal-controlled junctions, not just to detect the presence of a
vehicle, but to detect any traffic-pileups and use this to rephase
traffic lights where necessary to ease the congestion.

They're not suitable due to their localised nature.

SCOOT UTC can do this - used extensively in London
