Traffic signal timing refers to the process of determining how long each traffic signal light—red, yellow, and green—should remain illuminated. This timing is crucial for managing the flow of vehicles and pedestrians at intersections, ensuring safety and efficiency. Proper timing helps reduce congestion and minimizes the risk of accidents. The timing of traffic signals can vary based on factors such as traffic volume, time of day, and road conditions. Advanced systems may use sensors to adjust the timing in real-time, responding to changing traffic patterns. This adaptability enhances overall traffic management and improves travel times for all road users.
