Georgia's Regional Signal Operations Program

An effort began to update Traffic Signal Equipment in Georgia in 2000. As part of this program various programs were initiated and managed. The programs were directed at specific equipment or timing of Traffic Signals and managed independently. The Regional Traffic Operations Program is an effort to manage all aspects associated with an arterial corridor under one program with the effort of maximizing the efficiency of the corridor. The program is a work in progress that is evolving based on success or failure of increasing the efficiency of the corridor. The program has been in operation for approximately one year. The Regional Signal Operations Program has evolved and been effective in reducing congestion by managing the communications, detection and signal timing on a corridor basis while simplifying the management of multiple tasks to improve the operation.
