Description
When eastbound traffic on 116ave is given a green light at 100st, they will pull up to 99st just as the light turns red. When they are given green, the large bunch of traffic will pull up to 97st just as it turns red (if someone is queued on 97st). This trend continues all the way to 92st. The large group will pull up to each and every light just as it turns red. Total time to travel from 100st to 92st exceeds 8 minutes.
At 92st, all of the traffic will pull up to 92st just after the green cycle finishes and is forced to wait 3-4min for the light to change again as it's a very long light cycle.
Any chance that this can get fixed?

The City's traffic group explored the option of coordinating the signals at 99 St, 97 St 96 St and Lakeland Drive but this was less efficient as it increased waiting times.
The signals at 92 St are coordinated for the north/south corridor along 92 St.
Based on the current timings, if you do experience a red signal at any of these vehicle actuated intersections the maximum time you will see the red signal will be less than 40 seconds (max extension period + amber period + all red period) this will be less if the controller detects a gap in traffic from the side road. At these intersections you will never have to wait 3-4 minutes for the lights to change.
During the busiest periods the travel time, between 92St and 100St, is less than 4 minutes. This can fall below 3 minutes during off-peak periods.
