FULLERTON

Drivers may be less frustrated with traffic along some of the city’s main streets before too long.

A new program called the Traffic Signal Coordination Project is aimed at reducing air pollution and stopping people who run red lights, city officials said.

Spearheaded by Fullerton, the project will coordinate 51 traffic signals on thoroughfares bordering La Habra, Anaheim, Brea, Buena Park and Placentia on Euclid Street, the intersection of Malvern and Chapman avenues, and State College Boulevard.

“Our overall goal is to reduce driving delays on the streets, reduce emissions and allow an orderly flow of traffic,” said Mark Miller, Fullerton’s traffic engineer. “If they drive the posted speed, they will make the green light. If they drive faster, they may have to stop and wait.”
