TRAFFIC SIGNAL SYSTEM CAPACITY

THE OPERATION OF A FLEXIBLE SIGNAL SYSTEM, WITH CLOSELY SPACED SIGNALS AND PREFERENTIAL OFFSET ON ONE OR TWO WAY ARTERIES, IS ILLUSTRATED GRAPHICALLY. WHILE MOST DESCRIPTIONS OF TRAFFIC FLOW RECOMMEND REDUCTION IN THE SPEED OF PROGRESSION TO ACCOMMODATE HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION SHOWS THAT AN INCREASE IN PROGRESSION SPEED IS NECESSARY TO MEET INCREASED DEMAND.
