How Arvada Times Traffic Signals
Shownotes
We talk with Traffic Engineer, Elijah Vignet-Kotze about how signal retiming works, how it reduces stops and emissions, and what it takes to balance needs of multiple directions of drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists at busy intersections. We also answer listener questions on flashing signals, roundabouts, and speed bumps, then share what corridors and projects are coming next.
