The City of Roswell has implemented an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) to modernize and improve traffic flow throughout the community. This system links traffic signals together to better control traffic flow and allows city officials to make real-time adjustments to meet changing traffic demands.
The synchronization system operates through sophisticated computerized controls that coordinate multiple intersections. Signal operations are customized for each intersection based on various factors, including:
- Safety considerations
- Intersection configuration
- Traffic volume patterns
- Time of day demands
- Special event requirements
Working in partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation's SigOps program, Roswell's traffic engineers optimize signal timing across the city's major corridors. The program aims to:
- Reduce travel delays by up to 25%
- Decrease fuel consumption and vehicle emissions
- Improve safety at intersections
- Enhance overall traffic flow efficiency
