> We have inductive loops at EVERY single lane of every single intersection.

What? I'm German and I have never heard about this. I also can't find anything to support this.

I am aware of induction used for traffic light switching, but certainly not at every intersection, let alone in every lane.

Well, I’ve seen them at every intersection I’ve been to in Kiel, Berlin, etc.

At least in the bigger cities for traffic shaping they measure the traffic at every lane of every intersection.
