Descripción

As you drive west on Trumbull Street, 2 traffic signals at (1) Trumbull and Whitney and (2) Trumbull at Temple, are not well synchronized. The light at Trumbull and Temple, including left turn signal to turn south onto Temple, turns green immediately after the light at Trumbull and Whitney turns red. There is little space between the lights; only about 3-4 cars fit. As a consequence, only about three cars can take advantage of the left signal and green light on any cycle. Therefore, the line of traffic going westbound on Trumbull takes a very long time to advance. You may have to adjust the walk signal at Whtiney and Trumbull, but definitely the lights should be adjusted so that they are green at the same time, and the entire lane of traffic built up on Trumbull before Whtiney can take advantage of the green light at Temple.

The backup on Trumbull has a ripple effect: it is common for drivers exiting from the highway to "block the box" at Trumbull and Orange, especially in the morning, so that southbound Orange Street traffic is blocked.
