Evidently, here in Virginia, VDOT is light years ahead of PDOT. We've had a
similar yet more advanced system in place for a while now. Ours is the
"Totally Intelligent Transportation System" (aka: TITS).

<snip> Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced that
interstate travelers across the state's Northwestern region may soon enjoy
smoother travel following the installation of a new Intelligent Transportation
System (ITS). PennDOT says the region's ITS project will mostly be funded by
the federal government. Features of the new system will include: traffic
cameras, VMS and highway advisory radio systems on Interstates 90, 86, 80, 79
and 376 in Butler, Crawford, Erie, Lawrence, Mercer and Venango counties. Work
will begin this spring. The completed system is expected to come online by
mid-2012, with testing continuing into early 2013. <snip>

What you should read into this is that every vehicle using it will be tracked,
tagged and the owner / driver / occupants can be identified - but this hasn't
been mentioned. Cameras now look from approx 1 mile away and front seat
vehicle occupants can be seen and identified reasonably easily, even in the
dark! It is up to you to decide if you think this is good or bad.
