 Ramp meter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan areas they are commonplace, and they are found in more than two dozen smaller metropolitan areas.
Ramp metering was first implemented in 1963 on the Eisenhower Expressway (Interstate 290) in Chicago, Illinois.
This first application involved a police officer who would stop traffic on an entrance ramp and release vehicles one at a time at a predetermined rate, so that the objectives of safer and smoother merging onto the freeway traffic was easier without disrupting the mainline flows.
