12600 S EB and WB at Mtn View have been reported multiple times. Because of the construction on 13400 S, UDOT needs to adjust the timing badly.

As a concerned neighbor in this area, I have engaged with our city council representative and UDOT. The traffic signals team is continually tweaking the signals to try to find optimal solutions for traffic in this area. The changes they have made have significantly improved weekday traffic, especially during peak rush hour times. The weekend still needs improvement as I also ran into this issue earlier today.

I, along with a few other neighbors, will continue to work with the team at UDOT to make the best of a less-than-ideal situation. Please remember that Mountain View is a major artery for the north and southbound traffic on the west side of the valley and will always take priority over east and westbound traffic. There are plans in motion to alleviate congestion in the next few years (which I know isn’t helpful for the pain we are feeling now).

I’ll continue to watch for comments and pass the info along to our representative team.

The timing of this light does NOT need to promote north-south traffic over east-west traffic. By volume, east-west traffic is significantly larger in numbers. Therefore, that direction should be prioritized in the traffic lights. Until Mountain View has enough traffic to justify it, it should not take priority over 12600 S traffic.
