CID Traffic Signal Re-timing Gets Results
08/24/2009 - By Joe Allen CID Traffic Signal Re-timing Gets Results
Traffic congestion relief remains a primary goal for the CID’s Board of Directors, and a new CID effort addressing this issue is already paying off for drivers.
Wolverton & Associates has been contracted to lead and maintain a traffic signal timing and optimization program throughout greater Gwinnett Place. Wolverton works with the Gwinnett Department of Transportation to test and correct timing issues at 45 of the area’s busiest intersections.
During peak travel times, drivers will now save about 98,000 hours and nearly 59,000 gallons of gasoline annually because of the CID’s efforts. Lessened trip times and lowered fuel usage for area travel will generate savings of more than $1.3 million per year.
The CID continues to work with Wolverton to fine-tune signal timing and maintain properly functioning intersections in the District.
