drivers looking for parking.
A year-long study found that drivers a 15-

730 tons of carbon dioxide
and used 47,000 gallons of
gas searching for parking.

Simply by changing the timing of traffic lights,
engineers were able to nearly double the fuel efficiency
of a BMW test vehicle—from 22 mpg to 42 mpg.
The company expects an overall
10-15% decrease
in urban fuel consumption due to smart traffic signaling.
