ASCT is standard practice (and has been standard practice) on most junctions in most towns and cities in the UK for over 20 years.

Curious...in the UK, is the implementation of something like that done by government employees?

In the USA, a significant amount of tax-funded infrastructure is actually built out by contractors, which means there's profit going to a corporation, and there's often a cynical idea that the contracts go out to whoever will send a kickback in the form of a campaign contribution to whoever makes the decision on which contractor to use.
