The County of Los Angeles
has completed the construction of a Traffic Signal Synchronization
Project in the Fourth District cities of Manhattan Beach, Hermosa
Beach, Redondo Beach, Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes and Long Beach,
Supervisor Don Knabe announced recently.
The $933,524 project focused on coordinating the timing of signals
along three major streets in the South Bay. Over 100 total
intersections were synchronized on the following three roads:
Artesia Boulevard from Sepulveda Boulevard to Vermont Avenue, Carson
Street from Hawthorne Boulevard to Santa Fe Avenue, and Western
Avenue from 111th Street to Summerland Avenue.
This project is part of the County’s ongoing program to enhance
traffic flow and safety for drivers and pedestrians. Prior projects
have shown travel times through these synchronized routes are
reduced by as much as 24 percent during peak travel hours and as
much as 29 percent during other periods of the day.
“It is important that we constantly look for ways to reduce
congestion and improve the flow of traffic on our roads,” said
Supervisor Knabe. “By synchronizing these traffic signals, both the
residents of these cities and the nearby unincorporated County areas
that travel these routes will benefit.”
