The City of Arlington will install traffic detectors equipped with artificial intelligence to help manage traffic ahead of big events, including theOfficials expect each game to bring a Super Bowl-sized crowd to the area -- tens of thousands of people.
A city spokesperson said they had been using NoTraffic at a few intersections as part of a pilot program. Crews will start installing the new sensors in early 2025, and launching each intersection as it's completed, with a total completion date of early 2026.The new technology will help local businesses, too, like J. Gilligan's Bar & Grill, which runs buses to and from AT&T Stadium for customers.
Restaurant president Randy Ford said on a game day his buses will transport anywhere from 1,500 to 2,200 Cowboys fans."You know what, J. Gilligan, we don't need a Super Bowl every night. But just if they'll just have like a regular Cowboy home game, it'll be huge, you know, nine games like that," Ford said."We have a particular way that we go, and there's a reason for that: Right turns are better than left turns and such as that," Ford said.
He's already preparing in his own way for those crowds on the horizon, too -- adding more restrooms and even renting a building across the street. "For, you know, a bigger dining area, or if somebody wanted to do some sort of a party or a soccer event," Ford explained."Those nine games, if they if they all approach Super Bowl level, it'll be a real exciting time," he said.
