On Tramway, Signals Go With the Flow
2005
Overview
[Robert Baker] says \"signal coordination on roadways that have left-turn arrows, pedestrian-activated crossings and non-uniform signal spacing does not always function as expected. The main reason is the need to accommodate left-turn traffic. The coordination pattern is intended to move traffic from one signal to the next along Tramway in both the north and south direction(s). When a left-turning vehicle is not present, this results in what is referred to as an 'early release.' This causes motorists to arrive at the next signal earlier than expected and possibly on a red light.\" \"Something similar to this occurs when a pedestrian activates the pedestrian-crossing signal to cross Tramway,\" Baker says. \"The system is thrown out of coordination and takes time to recover.\" \"To improve the coordination and because the volume of left- turning vehicles is fairly light, it was decided to eliminate the left-turn phases,\" Baker says. \"After making these modifications, the coordination along Tramway seems to be running well. Thanks again for the feedback.\"
