WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - The hustle and bustle through Public Square is part of a normal day. So is sitting in traffic.
Michael Delaney, the city of Watertown’s engineer, says they’ve been working with Fisher Associates, a transportation engineering firm, to reduce wait times at red lights.
“Part of the issue is the signals aren’t synced properly,” said Delaney.
Delaney says this creates plenty of problems, like vehicles being backed up, and he says longer waits make drivers more likely to run yellow lights or lights that just turned red.
