The Challenge

How to provide the right LT phasing at the right time?

The Response

Develop new tools• Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS) • Utilize Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) display• Pro Only vs. Pro/Per by Time of Day or adaptively

A recent controversial study by Oregon State University examined driver behavior in permissive left turns has identified about 4‐9 % of the time, drivers don't even bother to look and see if there are people in the way.

How?   SCATS “Ped Minus Left” Feature

Ped Minus Left = Pedestrian crosses without the left turn conflict

How?   SCATS “Ped Minus Left” FeatureAllows engineers to protect pedestrians by omitting the permissive left turn when the crosswalk has a walk or flashing don’t walk indication

Final ThoughtsWHY??  

• Net Left Turn Improvement Benefit = $3 million/yr• Decreased  Vehicle and Pedestrian Delays• SCATS Project Cost = $5.5 million (one time)• Not possible without Ped Minus Left• Potential for standard application
