The nation's traffic signals fail in almost every aspect of execution.
If you're frustrated by the lack of cohesion and efficiency of the traffic signals in your area, you are not alone. Almost every state needs vast improvement in the monitoring and repair of its signals.
"A new survey being released Wednesday says the nation's traffic signal operations are largely inefficient, leading to frustration and unnecessary delays for motorists, wasted fuel and more air pollution as vehicles constantly stop and go. The report measured how traffic agencies manage their systems, review traffic signal timing, maintain an inventory of traffic data and provide adequate staffing. It contends there are not adequate resources for monitoring and coordinating traffic signals, and estimates that improving the system could cost roughly $965 million a year."
