Better Intersections News Today

A Sydney software developer has built a website called Better Intersections which allows users to track wait times at traffic lights.

This blog post provides an overview of traffic signal operation in Sydney (focusing on the inner city), based on technical documentation, conversations with government & industry experts and data I've collected after building Better Intersections.

Better Intersections is a tool to record and visualise timing details for pedestrian and bicycle signals. In the absence of traffic light timing data, and as we hold hope for it to become publicly available; the aim of Better Intersections is to crowdsource measurements and inform where positive changes could be made.
