An innovative experiment in Israel is giving ambulances priority at traffic lights in the hope of saving lives, according to The Press Service of Israel (TPS-IL).
Led the Ministry of Transportation, Ayalon Highways, Magen David Adom and the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, the system uses GPS-based technology to detect ambulances and automatically adjust traffic signals.
Initial tests showed a 40-second reduction in hospital transport time. Officials are now considering expanding the project nationwide.
