The Beach LI ITS stands for Long Island Intelligent Transportation Systems i.e., the computerized traffic management and information system operated by the New York State Deptarment of Transportation in Nassau and Suffolk Counties to help improve vehicle travel times, coordinate traffic flow, and limit the amount of congestion. Information regarding accidents, construction, and suggestion of alternate routes, for example, can direct traffic from overloaded highways to less congested roadways and thus move traffic more efficiently.
Travelers can then make better informed desicions regarding their trip.
This intelligent transportation system will be implemented in stages, as DOT adds various highway monitoring and traffic signal control systems to the network.
