Flexible Progressive Traffic Light System Proposed for Frederick
State Roads Commission in cooperation with Frederick city outlines a flexible progressive signal system replacing the present simultaneous setup. Lights along Main Street would turn green sequentially to maintain continuous flow, with timing adjustable for peak and normal hours. Benefits include steadier speeds, better side-street turnover, and increased street capacity, while disadvantages cite uniform red phases and inflexible block handling. The report endorses changing to the progressive system as an early step to ease congestion.
