Traffic control

Asked by Anonymous · a month ago

What is your opinion on updating all traffic lights to be more responsive to traffic conditions instead of sitting at lights with no traffic!

Stephanie MacLellan's answer

It is certainly frustrating to be sitting at a set of lights only to see that you are the only car waiting. Our light systems are often set up as safety measures rather than traffic control considering the speed and design of our rural roads. The lights in town are programmed to keep the flow of traffic moving. As our town grows though, traffic patterns change. As Mayor I will ensure that our public works department monitor and report on the state of traffic so that we can adjust based on real time data. One of the goals of that is to decrease those long lonely red lights.
