Improvements to March Road Signal Timing
Councillor Sudds has been working with the city to find solutions to ease thedaily congestion on March Road leading into the Kanata North Technology Park.
A thorough traffic study was undertaken, collecting data, and new signal timing plans were developed, using computer software simulation. After running many tests and fine-tuning the system, updates to signal timing on March between Campeau & Maxwell Bridge and Terry Fox between March & Old Second Line have been implemented.
City staff will continue to monitor conditions via traffic cameras and staff field checks to further adjust signal timing if necessary. Early results are showing a decrease in delays, which means that vehicles are travelling more efficiently.
