Have roadsigns that dynamically display current average travel times to indicated destinations as well as absolute distances. This would be based on average speeds derived from pickup loops at strategic points along the route. Most people are more interested in how long it will take to get to a place than how far it actually is.

       I don't understand how this is better than the version available in expensive automobiles. I do understand that you'd want me to pay for it.
