Description
So apparently, A2 uses AI to help improve traffic, however, it has *not* learned how to properly allocate traffic at the stoplight at Jackson and Maple. Driving west on Jackson and approaching Maple, there is constantly a pile of up traffic (especially from 4-6pm) and yet the wait for the light to turn green is an average of 3+ minutes. There is never a pile of traffic on Maple. Why isn't the green light longer for the Jackson side? And it seems super inefficient (e.g. Jackson going west + left turn gets a green, then waits, before going east gets a green + left. Often the left turn lane is completely empty before it turns red again) The whole thing could use a rehaul.

I have considered this for a long time probably the worst timed intersection in the city.
I've timed a full cycle at 6 minutes in the past.

Traffic is worse during Mon-Fri morning and evening commutes. It's a drag, but it is what it is. We rely on a lot of people for employment in the city who cannot afford to live here. Commuting will continue to increase. Drivers need to have a realistic plan for appropriate travel time, which will vary depending on the time of day, weather, road construction, etc. Matching expectations to reality may stop these complaints.
