Traffic flow in signalized intersection plays a major part in the formation of delays in the urban street network. Reduction of delays in the signalized intersections in-turn helps to reduce the travelling time and pollution. Most of the existing signals in the urban streets have not been updated according to the increase or decrease of the traffic flow at each arm of these intersections. In this paper, three signalized intersections in Erode are taken into consideration, and the junctions are redesigned by varying the red time and green time in those signals. The signal is then modelled using the computer simulation model VISSIM. Efficient modelling of vehicular traffic is efficient in India and is largely used in context of Indian heterogeneous driving conditions. By changing the red time and green time of the signal, the average waiting time of the vehicles is expected to be reduced by 50%.
