Cables Buried on I-40

THP is heading a new network across TN for public safety. It could be Fiber for this project

East of Little Rock.

Interesting. There has been a lot of work done west of little rock. No cables though.

I didn't know it would be that much cable for a TDOT/THP deal. Jeez.

It's probably conduit for the I.T.S. expansion but I'm not positive. I don't think we've started pulling fiber yet.

Famous last words before installing speed cameras all down I40.

Cool. So, they'll be mailing out tickets w/o pulling anyone over? Not a good idea, IMO.

They already do it with red light cameras.

We can thank the mayor of Knox county for that law

The law states that it's only in construction zones and that a construction worker HAS to be present.

SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 55-8-198, is amended by adding a new subsection thereto, as follows:
(e) No surveillance cameras shall be permitted on federal interstate highways except for Smart Way cameras, other intelligent transportation system cameras or, when employees of the department or construction workers are present, surveillance cameras used to enforce or monitor traffic violations within work zones designated by the department of transportation; provided, that such cameras shall be operated only by a state entity.

I got a ticket mailed to me from a red light

well the city of Kingsport actually mailed it,not the red light

[renegade37918]

"Past"

Probably retrofit the TDOT SmartWay cameras already in place. Luckily I don't think there are any plans for construction on I-40 within Knoxville.
