Istanbul is one of the most populated cities in Turkey. With the population of more than 15 million people, any emergency situation would put a strain on the public emergency services and on the public itself. 
Istanbul, to combat this, is installing automatic traffic lights for emergencies! This automation of traffic lights, allows ambulances, fire trucks and other emergency vehicles to skip the traffic. despite the fact that Istanbul has emergency lanes to allow faster travel for the emergency vehicles, Its not enough to accommodate the big city. This situation is exasperated in the inner city with the heavier traffic.
The new traffic light system uses a vehicle-to-everything or V2X communication system that connects any vehicle with any entity with suitable connection devices. Devices are based on wireless communication and cellular systems. During the pilot testing, the system proved to be successful and the lights changed from red to green, and turns red for other vehicles.
Hopefully, next time you are in need of emergency services, they can get there faster.
