Bad Red Lights
Sometimes the timing’s just not right, in life and in stoplights. The stoplights at the intersection of Fifth and Penn Avenue out toward Centre Avenue in the East Liberty/Bakery Square corridor are due for an improvement. “That area is going to be a nightmare because it’s only going to get busier,” says Stiller. “They’re going to have to use the smart traffic signals CMU developed.”

Route 19 in the South Hills could also do with re-timed stop lights. The stoplights controlling the intersections of Route 19 with side minor side streets often cause stoppage during peak traffic times. “That light will flip red and stop 50 cars to let two or three out,” he says. “Maybe the side streets should pile up to six or seven cars before you stop a hundred.”
