Light Programming

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

Can you please confirm if there have been any changes made to the traffic
light programming on either one-way section of SH1 between George Street
(south) and Howe Street (north).

 

I've noticed over the last week that congestion has greatly increased and
the synchronisation of the traffic lights has stopped. Previously a car
travelling at just below the speed limit (~45km/h) would receive all
lights in sequence, allowing traffic to flow smoothly. However now every
other light is red for this traffic, making traffic stop and start
multiple times along this section of road (in both directions) which
increases trip times and number of cars sharing this section of road at
the same time. Has a change in traffic light programming occurred? If so
can you include any relevant briefings or internal communications related
to this changed.

 

If these lights are not managed by NZTA please forwards this OIA/LGOIMA to
DCC or the relevant stakeholder.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Hubert Hiffenberg
