lets be honest, trying to co-ordinate live traffic cameras and digital signs in Kuwait seems a bit ambitious, its probably more like someone got a sweet contract to put this stuff in for no good reason and the people on the streets will see no discernible benefit. I can imagine it telling me there is traffic while im already stuck in it.

This is a traffic monitoring system.

It’s supposed to analyze the traffic flow and allow traffic light signals to change according to congestion.

Technically, if it works, you should not be caught at so many red lights.

Congratulations, Kuwait: you’re getting road tolls! Woohoo!

(And I say this because these structures look suspiciously like those of the Salik system in Dubai.)
