Certainly, the federal government and the different levels of government could provide some incentives in order to encourage municipalities, for example, to instrument some critical locations. For example, instrumentations and communications capability could be put into critical intersections in order to help improve safety in those regions.
It would be unrealistic to say that we have to instrument and make more intelligent all of the infrastructure that we have. It's impossible. We don't even have the money to fill in our potholes, so I don't see how we could spend that much money on instrumentation.
