Description

Not sufficient amount of green light time for west bound traffice. The new traffic lights at Pennsylvania and Branch Aves allow for too much turn arrow only time. There is rarely cars in either turn lane, but, the turn only light comes on regardless of car presence thus shortening the time for straight through traffice which amounts to approx 5 cars making it through the light. On the other hand at the same light intersection probably 10 to 18 cars can usually make it through the light from Branch Ave turning left onto Pennsylvania Ave headed into town. This causes a backup of traffic flowing westbound on Pennsylvania Ave. This is a major problem during AM rush hour.
