Coordinated Traffic Lights
Have you ever had that euphoric feeling when you breeze through a series of traffic lights all the way to your destination? The City of Gallatin is investing in a traffic light coordination system that could give drivers that sensation every day.
Gallatin’s Engineering Division is working on a plan for a traffic synchronization system that allows computerized coordination of most of the traffic lights in Gallatin from a single location. Similar systems in other cities have reduced traffic delays. Comprehensive signal retiming programs have documented benefits of 7-13% reduction in overall travel time, 15-37% reduction in delay and a 6-9% fuel savings (Institute of Transportation Engineers)
“All of these benefits stem from simply reducing the number of vehicle stops,” said City Engineer Nick Tuttle. “So while most drivers will appreciate saving time, a nice byproduct of this measure will be fewer trips to the pump and better air quality.”
