Whatever happened to signal update?
A few months ago, the New & Record published a report about how the city government was working on updating traffic light patterns throughout Greensboro. I haven’t read or seen any changes yet, and I was wondering if the money originally allocated for this program is a victim of the conditions of the current economy.
Recently, I’ve waited what seems like hours at red lights that don’t change to green, even though there are no cars to be seen in any direction. Stopping at red lights unnecessarily is a waste of gas and, of course, money.
I know it’s simplistic to assume that these corrections could be just a few computer keystrokes to fix the problem, but I’m wondering when we’ll see any progress on this issue.
