What You Should Do When You See Black Cables on the Road – The Surprising Truth Behind Those Mysterious Rubber Strips

🛣️ Why They Appear and Disappear

Traffic-counting tubes are temporary because engineers often only need a few days or weeks of data. Once enough information is collected, the equipment is removed and used elsewhere.

🧠 Why This Matters

Accurate traffic data helps improve:

• Road safety
• Traffic flow
• Infrastructure planning
• Pedestrian and cyclist protection

In short, those rubber strips play a small but important role in making roads safer and more efficient.
