Traffic
Science Fiction and Humour
Barberton is small! So the issue of congested traffic only affects us when one of the Pub owners needs to send everyone home for a restocking of essentials.
With the 2010 big Soccer World Cup event about to hit South Africa in, ugh 2010, many cities are facing major traffic worries.
Personally I have a television, so I need not go out. But saying that is probably not politically correct towards the political disadvantaged individuals out there.
So to correct my political incorrectness (On having a TV) I will try to lend a hand/mind to this looming traffic congestion disaster.
Therefore I have invented the Winding Auto Lane Carriage.
Most traffic congestion happens at intersections. Everyone is coming from various directions and end up together at one intersection. Traffic slows down to a crawl or more likely a complete stop.
This is where the W.A.L.C. will be implemented.
All cars will drive up to an intersection on the highway like normal. But when you reach it your will drive your car onto the W.A.L.C.. The W.A.L.C. is highly computerized. It has millions and billions of sensors everywhere. It will calculate all the necessary calculations that need to be calculated.
The W.A.L.C. will move the traffic intelligently and safely past the intersection.
Once your reach the exit point of the W.A.L.C. you will enter a special (even more computerized system) that will boost your car onto the road at a safe speed of 120km/h.
Special safety mechanisms are built into the W.A.L.C. and W.A.L.C. exit point to prevent people from not paying attention on their progress on the W.A.L.C.
For example: If a person should be on a cell phone they will pass the "Sensor to Eliminate All Lines". This device terminates all phone calls by disconnection phone lines along the road. The "S.T.E.A.L." system is uniquely patented in South Africa. And we are Proud of that!
The W.A.L.C. is guaranteed to solve all the traffic problems that face South Africa.
Patent pending!
