VDOT adjusts signals for safety
I note that the green circle/green arrow lights have a very clear explanation posted between them at all left-turn lane intersections regarding “yielding on the green circle.”
— Sharon Egan, Reston
Writing to me during our continuing discussion of left-turn strategies, Egan said she encountered the “following green arrow” heading west on Sunrise Valley Drive at the intersection with Soapstone Drive in Reston . She said the left-turn lane to Soapstone has the following green.
But in pointing out what she took to be a convenience for drivers, Egan helped the Virginia Department of Transportation identify a potential problem at a handful of intersections and launch a fix.
That problem isn’t created simply by having following green arrows. As Egan points out, they often stop congestion. Multiple sequences of green arrows can improve the efficiency of intersections by clearing left-turn lanes where the turning traffic is heavy or there’s a very short turn lane. But in that situation, the green turn arrow should be the only opportunity for drivers to make the left. No green arrow, no turn.
An unusual configuration at Sunrise Valley Drive, on the other hand, created an opportunity for what traffic engineers call a “ yellow trap. ” A sequence of signals that includes a solid green circle between leading and following green arrows can be the start of a yellow trap.
Think of typical driver behavior, said Randy Dittberner, VDOT traffic engineer for Northern Virginia. The left-turning driver moves out into the intersection on the solid green circle and waits for a gap. Then the solid green circle turns yellow and the driver starts to get anxious, knowing that the turn needs to be made soon.
The driver assumes that the oncoming drivers see the same yellow signal and will slow down. But if for some reason the signals don’t match, the turning driver may be facing a bigger challenge than the driver realizes.
Dittberner said VDOT’s goal is to avoid any light sequence in which turning drivers might face a yellow trap. A few years ago, he said, VDOT adjusted the settings on signals at 800 intersections with this in mind.
But the sweep missed the configuration at Sunrise Valley Drive. So after VDOT saw Egan’s letter, it set out to adjust the signal she described as well as those at 18 other intersections where the same situation could have occurred. (VDOT has signals at more than 1,400 intersections in its Northern Virginia territory.
