The traffic delay and signal timing offset of adjacent signalized intersections are studied by stochastic computer simulation. The emphasis is on the effect of turning movements on traffic signal coordination. Coordination synchronizes the flow of traffic through a sequence of signals in order to minimize delays and stops. It's application is traditionally restricted to major thoroughfares where turning movements from side streets are insignificant. This study attempts to show that there are benefits of coordination for some combinations of side street turning traffic and how to obtain the optimal offsets from the simulation model.
