Deskripsyon
Recent timing change is causing partial gridlock on Marconi & Windward.
Prior to change, Windward Westbound would receive redlight several seconds prior to Windward eastbound. This would allow some traffic to clear before a green light was given to cars turning left out of Marconi Dr.
Currently cars headed West on Windward will block the intersection. The causes one or two cars from Marconi to enter the intersection, which then block Windward traffic headed East.
Investigate if light is backing out of it set traffic pattern or if the pattern has been recently changed.

The City has not made any timing adjustments to the signals along Windward Parkway.
The significant change to the traffic patterns along the Windward Corridor are the direct result of the Georgia Department of Transportation's (GDOT) decision to open the right shoulder of GA400 to thru traffic during peak commute periods. This has greatly increased the volume of vehicles hitting Windward at the same time to the point that the capacity of Windward Parkway has been greatly exceeded.
Unfortunately, the issue cannot be resolved through signal timing, as there are simply more cars trying to use the roadway than it can handle.
Further, while the City is pursuing a project that would provide an additional westbound travel lane between GA400 and State Route 9, the addition of the volume resulting from opening the shoulder of GA400 will all but nullify the positive impacts of the additional capacity on Windward that our project would provide.
The City is working to identify additional alternatives to help mitigate the situation. There are not, however, any quick fixes to this issue.

"The City has not made any timing adjustments to the signals along Windward Parkway."
This statement can only be true if the state is responsible for signals at 400 & Windward Parkway. There have been changes to AM/PM timings of both sets of lights.
Traffic flow of Windward has improved significantly on the west side of 400 and worsened on the east end.
