Signal synchronization demonstration projects are successful
Two roads served as demonstration projects in preparation for this project. You can experience traffic light synchronization throughout the entire length of Euclid Street and Oso Parkway/Pacific Park Drive.
Euclid Street Project Details
- Synchronized in 2007
- 15 miles – six cities worked together with OCTA and Caltrans
- 62 traffic signals synchronized
- 50,000 vehicles per day travel through the corridor
- $450,000 to implement synchronization
RESULTS
- 20% improvement in travel time
- 41% reduction in stops
Oso Parkway / Pacific Park Drive improvements
- Synchronized in 2007
- 8 miles
- 5 cities and incorporated area of Orange County worked together with OCTA and Caltrans
- 34 traffic signals synchronized
- 58,000 vehicles per day travel through the corridor
- $250,000 to implement synchronization
- Future roadway enhancement, determined by the Traffic Light Synchronization master plan, will utilize the demonstration projects findings.
RESULTS
- 30% improvement in travel time
- 50% reduction in stops
Additional synchronization projects
In June 2011, OCTA implemented traffic signal synchronization along Bristol Street/State College Boulevard, Harbor Boulevard, and Westminster Avenue/17th street. This project, which satisfied the Southern California Association of Governments transportation control measure, was a substitution for the former bus rapid transit transportation control project.
