1. A system comprising:
- one or more traffic guidance nodes comprising;
a traffic guidance indicator;
a receiver to receive information about local traffic;
one or more sensors to detect local traffic activity and generate information about local traffic activity;
a memory to store the information about local traffic; and
a transmitter to broadcast the information about local traffic; and
one or more mobile traffic navigating entities comprising;
a receiver to receive the information from the one or more traffic guidance nodes when the traffic navigating entity is within a proximity of the one or more traffic guidance nodes;
one or more sensors to detect local traffic activity and generate information about local traffic activity;
a memory to store the information about the local traffic activity;
a transmitter to send the information about the local traffic activity to other mobile traffic navigating entities and to the one or more traffic guidance nodes;
wherein the one or more traffic guidance nodes transmit updated information about the local traffic to the one or more mobile traffic navigating entities when the one or more mobile traffic navigating entities are within a range of the one or more traffic guidance nodes.
