Foster City drivers will have more time to make left turns at lights during peak hours after city officials adjust the timing at some of its intersections starting Sept. 8, according to the city.
At some intersections, signals may operate in a different sequence. For instance, where a left turn is normally served after a through movement, it may now be served prior to the through movement. During a.m. and p.m. coordination periods at many intersections, more time will be allocated for some of the left turn movements. Midday coordination will be removed at all intersections as there does not appear to be a dominant direction of travel during the middle of the day as there is during the morning and afternoon commute, according to the city.
Peak periods are approximately 7:30 p.m.-9:30 a.m., 11:30 p.m.-1:30 p.m., and 4:30 p.m.-6:30 p.m.
The traffic signal coordination was funded through a grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
