Description
The traffic light at Main and Vine St in Saugus MA favors Vine Street too heavily. During periods of heavy traffic this causes up to 1/2 mile of back-ups on Mains St on either side of the light. A slight adjustment of the timing, making Vine St traffic wait just a bit longer for green, will save time and fuel for thousands of drivers every day.

Possibly, some change was made to the light controller. Now it turns green for Vine St even when there is no traffic waiting at Vine.
Sensors in the pavement at Vine are intended to keep the light green for Main St unless traffic arrives on Vine. Now the traffic signal makes traffic on Main St stop needlessly.
Observing this traffic signal in operation for just a few minutes reveals the need for adjustment or repair.
