I saw the planning diagram on the Facilities site a while back for that intersection and I don’t remember anything about a sign installation. I can’t find the document to link to on their site, but I recall that there are lights to control traffic coming from West Deck as well as the Phillips / Cameron intersection.
There’s the key right there: that this sign is updated daily with correct information. Even with all the fancy technology, these signs can be just as bad as the plexiglass signs with outdated information if someone is not assigned to update it daily, they get lazy about it, or if the information is incorrect. People will ignore it if it’s not kept current and/or if the information is not accurate. It can be a great tool if used correctly and kept up to date.[/quote]
I like the sign, but this is my fear. I have little faith in someone from some obscure arts/technology department keeping up with it. They had these nice flat screen all over campus back when I was a student and they were never utilized properly. Instead there was some basic powerpoint type advertisements. In fact, alot of them looked like they were done in powerpoint because of the fade effects that most people go overboard with.
Hopefully things change and this board will be used to show actually video footage and some visually appealing material.[/quote]
Isn’t that an oxymoron?
It’s not a video board, calm down.
Went by there today and they are putting in traffic lights at the intersection of Cameron Blvd. and Phillips Rd. and Cameron Blvd. and the back road into the SAC.
oh nice.
That hill there is a safety issue. They should have put the first traffic signals on campus there. Wonder if they still plan to build the back road from CRI to the new dorm, or if they plan to keep Phillips Rd. for cars?
