Traffic Lights

To make a long story short - there are several intersections in Norwich that cause un-warranted wait time, traffic back ups, wasted fuel and driver frustration. My thought is this is caused by 99% of traffic lights being controlled by a timer rather than traffic flow. It is understood that some of these intersections are controlled by the state, but if the city could lead the way by installing traffic sensitive lights, the state might follow. An example of a "good" traffic light is at the intersection of Broad St and Broadway. You normally do not wait more than 10 seconds for the light to change. Examples of a "bad" traffic light: 1) At the intersection of Hunters Rd and Rte 12; 2) Turning right out of Walmart...No right turn when you can see 100 yards down the road?? 3) Intersection of Main St, Washington St, Water St, W. Main St...traffic sensitive lights would help control the flow 4) Intersection of Chelsea Harbor Dr and Water St... for folks who want to go straight into downtown this light can be lengthy...and there are more!

In addition to traffic sensitive lights in my mind it would make sense to put almost all traffic lights on blinking red or caution after 8pm
