Descrizione

This traffic light sometimes cycles with approximately equal green time on each street even when no cars approach on Hawthorne and there is of course much more traffic on Whitney. When it does, traffic can back up for over 2 blocks as the picture shows. The problem is exacerbated because on-street parking there reduces traffic on Whitney to one lane. This behavior is erratic; sometimes it behaves properly, staying green on Whitney until a vehicle approaches on Hawthorne. The strange behavior does nothing to improve safety and only causes vehicles to waste fuel.
