And also the pronunciation, but it’s a tad confusing.

The German pronunciation really isn't difficult, but for Haligonians it's foreign enough that there's not a chance it would ever catch on here.

I'm wondering if 'real-time traffic conditions' being monitored include pedestrian traffic and bicycle traffic or if it's just auto traffic that will be monitored and affect the timing of traffic lights. Anyone know?

I don't know, but I suspect it would be only for cars, as that is where our major traffic backups are.

Edit: It also should be mentioned that pedestrians already have priority crossing at non-signaled crosswalks and a button to speed up signal change at signalled ones.

Don't sleep on those who call it either AISLES-ville and even EYES-ILL-ville.
