Traffic Management

The CHART system strives to manage freeway and arterial traffic flows with the goal of greater efficiency and safety. When freeways and other primary Traffic Management Logo routes are unexpectedly congested, some traffic will shift to surface arterials. Arterial signal systems are being installed statewide to provide remote and adaptive traffic signal control and coordinated signal timing. Traffic signal technicians and CHART system operators can better balance demand and capacity by adjusting traffic signal timing remotely.
