Regional govt. in Attica have signed an agreement with Google to manage traffic lights in Athens. The Google system will adjust the timing of red and green phases using live data from mobile phones and traffic sensors to reduce congestion and emissions
For quite a few years now Athens has had a system whereby cars and vans could only enter the city on alternate days depending on the registration number. Plates ending in an even number one day, odd numbers the next.
A local told me that all it really achieved was the creation of a market for old bangers with the 'right' number plate.
