No matter where you’re from or where you’re going, every driver deals with traffic lights. And it’s perhaps the biggest complaint? KSAT Explains traffic lights, how they are timed, and who controls them.
No matter where you’re from or where you’re going, every driver deals with traffic lights. And perhaps the biggest complaint? “They’re not timed well.” Or worse yet, “they’re not timed at all.”“Yes, yes we do,” said Tony Vasquez, Bexar County Public Works Division Chief. “Mostly that people are at the light too long or it didn’t let enough cars go through.
In cities within Bexar County that have fewer than 50,000 people, TXDOT owns and maintains those lights. “For some locations, we have even more than that because we have some locations that have like a heavy lunch period, for example,” said Jacobson. “Or some that have unique traffic patterns on the weekend. And so we may have a different timing plan that runs on Saturday versus one that comes on Sunday.”
But that doesn’t mean a light will stay green long enough for every car to make it through. Side streets and left turn lanes have to go some time.
