Next time you drive through the beautifully reconstructed new intersection at Martin Luther King Boulevard and Madison Avenue, you will notice cameras atop the traffic lights that were installed today.

Instead, the cameras serve as detectors of cars waiting at the lights.

Instead of placing those detectors inside the new brick pavers at the intersection near the Cathedral, the cameras will serve the purpose. Check them out:
