I live on Forest, they're backed up several blocks!

Now it's a blinking red on Forest and Dayton and blinking yellows on Fountain!!!! Is this what they consider a fix!

"This issue has already been addressed"?

That's our great city government at work!

Seriously. This is a quality of life issue. Whoever is responsible for the programming of this light needs to invest a few days in examining the best way to program this light. Cars are frequently backed up to West Elm, and when that happens the noise from horns, profanity and engines is overwhelming. This is more than just an inconvenience to drivers. I could give a crap whether someone's commute is 3 minutes longer because of this light, and in fact, I hope there is a special circle track of traffic reserved in Hell for every jerk who has used his horn at this light. Whatever the 'sensors' on this intersection are doing, they are not effectively controlling the flow of traffic at this intersection. The noise is negatively impacting the quality of life for all who live within 500 feet of this stretch of Forest Rd. The frustration this intersection causes for drivers makes this crosswalk even more dangerous for pedestrians than it once was. FIX THIS!

I was at this red light the other morning it stayed red so long that cars eventually ran the red light. This is a major safety issue.

The City of New Haven Departmen of Transportation, Traffic, and Parking has already addressed this issue.

Don't you love how well they fixed it?

Your comments are being acknowledged. This is a state controlled traffic signal that has not yet been transferred to the city. We are working with the state to try and resolve the problem and appreciate your patience.

Thanks guys (TT&P) for the update.

The city will eventually get control which should indeed help with signal coordination along Fountain and also Whalley. But, the State has had control and the State's Contractor (Ducci) has maybe not even completed their upgrade work. CT DOT hopefully is working on this and will soon give control to City's TT&P dept.

This has been a problem for a month.
That is a long time for people to be driving through a red light out of frustration.
That is a long time for a persistent safety problem to go without resolution.
That is a long time for this weakness/sloth/buck-passing to be tolerated.

I sat at the Forest/Fountain/Dayton light through two cycles yesterday, 7/8, at about 4:15 p.m. I was on Forest heading north. Each red light period was about 3 very long minutes. We did not time the green light cycles, but they were only long enough to allow about 4 cars through--or, by the time I made it to first in line for a green, only my car plus one tractor-trailer made it through. When I arrived at the light, it was red and I was about 5 cars back. When I finally made it through, traffic had backed up to approx. West Elm. So ... even allowing for a long wait given the complexity of that intersection of two state roads, that's far too brief a green for Forest, and two months after this issue was opened, it's still a problem.

Went through the intersection at 4:15 pm again, but today coming from a different direction: down Fountain St. heading east--no backup, no wait at all on Fountain in either direction. Didn't see Dayton. However, Forest Rd. was backed up for quite a long way.
