Comments:

Over the last ten years, Broward County has upgraded the traffic signal communication network with fiber optic cables along certain key corridors under its jurisdiction. At the same time, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has also been installing fiber optic cables in its roadways. In many instances, Broward County and FDOT share in the use of each other’s cables to minimize construction cost.
