How about smart traffic signals that detect traffic and manage traffic accordingly. For example, there are traffic lights that manage the traffic between a high throughput road and a low throughput road. In this instance, it could wait to cycle when multiple -thresholds are met like amount of time plus presence of automobiles waiting. More sophisticated systems might optimize for flow/throughput without overly frustrating any driver.

We already see tons of tragedy of the commons behavior with municipalities screwing with light timing and speed limits. The less knobs to turn the better, because 99.999% of people who want to turn the knobs want to do it for selfish reasons.
