The City of San Diego has given the green light to start work on a project to optimize the time you are waiting at stop lights.
City spokesperson Anthony Santacroce said there are about 1,450 underground sensors called loops.
They are these circles you might’ve noticed at intersections throughout the city and the city estimates roughly one-third need to be repaired.The city allocated more than $330 thousand towards repairs this fiscal year-- but not all repairs will happen this year.The city assures drivers that the loop sensors aren’t the only tool measuring traffic light timing, and the repairs will just make traffic timing better.
"Without them, it’s still efficient timing because we revert to the timed light cycle and other detectors. So, the repair of these loops is only going to optimize and increase times of traffic," he said.
