Summary Information

The effectiveness of a given traffic signal control improvement project depends largely on the control methods already in use prior to project implementation. The potential for improvement is greater for systems that have a more primitive base condition.

The Texas Traffic Light Synchronization program reduced delay by 23 percent by updating traffic signal control equipment and optimizing signal timing on a previously coordinated arterial (with or without new equipment).
