Traffic Signals:

Other: The new pedestrian crossing signals on South Walnut are programmed to take too long. The flashing yellow takes too long and half the motorists come to a stop while others continue thru the yellow to beat it. This becomes dangerous because pedestrians see certain cars slowing and stopping and begin to cross. I've seen folks almost get hit. Then the lights go solid red, oftentimes after the pedestrians have already crossed the road. Then the flashing red is too long, confusing many motorists who can't read or understand the sign. The entire sequence needs to be shortened for safety sake.

Resident stated the cycle was too long. Reviewed and revised existing timings. These timings are based upon MUTCD calculations, which were initially performed by others. Walk phase was INCREASED from 7 sec to 8 sec. Flash Don’t Walk (FDW) was DECREASED from 17 sec to 14 sec. Overall vehicular delay will go down by 2 seconds. This will most likely be unnoticeable to drivers. The “cycle” is due to the yellow, all-red, walk and FDW time which cannot be further be reduced.
