Trends in Japan has some pretty cool pictures and information about the war room of Tokyo’s traffic monitors. I don’t know if other cities have systems like this, but it looks impressive.

The Central Display Board highlights 1,000 intersections, and has 15,154 traffic signals in the system. When traffic jams are detected or reported, the affected area turns from green to red. It also displays traffic accidents and closed streets.
