Thank you - it was equally bad again tonight,,.and there was no traffic on Windward.

Our Traffic Engineer advises that the system appears to be backing out of the established timing pattern. He is working with our signal maintenance crew to determine if the problem is the result of a software or hardware issue and to then employ the appropriate measures to address the issue.

We do not currently have an estimate as to when final repairs will be completed; however, we will continue to adjust the timing at multiple times each day to minimize negative impacts until the system is once again properly functioning.

I remember when this happened. The time was extended, but it is still an issue. Traffic backs up almost back to exit 10 around 5-6pm. Even with 2 lanes for an exit, some crazy people still stop completely in the 3rd lane. Lots of near wrecks at rush hour due to the backup. Can the length of the green be extended for those exiting 400? Thanks.

The backup is not something that can be addressed by adjusting the timing of the subject signal or that of other signals along Windward Parkway. The simple fact is that there are more cars exiting at this location than the roadway can currently handle.

The City is working with the North Fulton CID on a project that will add capacity to Windward Parkway westbound from the GA400 interchange to Deerfield Parkway (see http://northfultoncid.com/projects/windward-parkway-triple-left-turn-lane-at-georgia-400-interchange/). This project will address the backup at Exit 11.

This issue item is being closed, as the signal at this location is properly timed and functioning.
