Perimeter-area commuters are spending less time slamming on their brakes and are saving about 32 hours a year in travel time in portions of Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Brookhaven.
That’s because over the past year, traffic signals have been synchronized and three out of four traffic signals in the area have been linked through fiber-optic cable to the Sandy Springs Traffic Control Center, according to Yvonne Williams, president of the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts. Engineers use video cameras to monitor the signals and tweak the timing to minimize delays based on the flow of traffic.
