Drivers on Highway 24 will soon see road signs flashing real-time data on the availability of parking spaces at Oakland's Rockridge BART station.
The signs are part of a new "Smart Parking" management field trial launched today (Tuesday, Dec. 7) by transportation researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, officials at the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART).
As part of the system's deployment, two electronic road signs will be placed to the side of Highway 24's westbound lanes before and after the Caldecott Tunnel.
