Signal Timing
Signal Timing refers to the management of traffic signals to control the flow of vehicles and pedestrians at intersections. It involves setting specific durations for green, yellow, and red lights to optimize traffic movement and enhance safety. Proper signal timing can reduce congestion and minimize wait times for drivers and pedestrians.
Effective signal timing takes into account factors such as traffic volume, time of day, and pedestrian activity. By adjusting the timing of signals, cities can improve overall traffic efficiency and reduce the likelihood of accidents. This process often uses data from traffic sensors and traffic studies to make informed decisions.
