Shorten Cycle Length

Traffic signal cycle lengths have a significant impact on the quality of the urban realm and consequently , the opportunities for bicyclists , pedestrians , and transit vehicles to operate effectively along a corridor . Long signal cycles , compounded over multiple intersections , can make crossing a street or walking even a short distance prohibitive and frustrating . Short cycle lengths of 60 – 90 seconds are ideal for urban areas .
