Q. The turn arrow does not seem to be working, why does it not change for me?
A. The sensor that activates the turn arrow is normally at or before the stop bar. If you have pulled past the stop bar to make the turn, then the traffic signal believes that you have already made your turn and it drops the call for the turn arrow to come on. There are some sensors that are about 30 feet back from the stop bar and then it will take about three cars before the turn arrow is activated.
Q. The traffic signal turns yellow before I have a chance to get across the intersection. Why does it change so fast?
A. Many traffic signals operate fully actuated. This means there are sensors in all directions of the intersection. The amount of green time depends on the number of vehicles. The more vehicles, the longer the green will time out. If only one vehicle, then the minimum amount of green will time out and then service the other directions of travel.
