The trial switch-off of traffic signals at two junctions in the London Borough of Ealing has increased junction throughput, cut congestion and reduced pedestrial wait times, a review of the work has found.
Ealing turned off traffic signals at the junctions last Autumn and installed mini roundabouts to regulate traffic flow.
A review of the trials found that the volume of traffic passing through the junctions has increased by 6-12%, average queue lengths have been cut by two-thirds, and typical pedestrian wait times have reduced by half. Ealing is unaware of any serious collisions taking place at the sites.
