The Ramp Meter Program was implemented to alleviate congestion and emphasize
motorist safety. Ramp Meters are traffic signal devices located on entrance ramps
to the freeway. They regulate the frequency of vehicles entering the flow of traffic
on a freeway.
The meters work similar to traffic signals with a red and green light. All vehicles
must stop when the light is red. Vehicles are only permitted to move onto the freeway
when the signal turns green.
