Traffic Signal Timing

Traffic signal timing refers to how long traffic lights stay green, yellow, or red at intersections. It’s carefully planned to ensure smooth vehicle flow and safety by coordinating signals based on traffic volume, time of day, and lane use. Proper timing reduces congestion, prevents accidents, and improves travel efficiency. Traffic engineers use data and software to set and adjust these timings, balancing the needs of cars, pedestrians, and public transit. Overall, proper signal timing helps keep traffic moving safely and effectively, adapting to changing traffic patterns and reducing delays.
