Reply to comment by dfiler in Why are traffic lights in Pittsburgh timed so poorly? by rickyrichboy

The lights on Route 22 are synchronized from Monroeville through Murrysville. It's not timing but I guess it's a similar end-result.

Except for the lights at 22/48... when they changed those, it totally forked the intersection. When they change has no pattern, and sometimes they are green for 10 seconds, then back to red while cars are still waiting for a turn. It is insanity, so I avoid it if I can.

I drive this stretch pretty frequently and its still pretty stop and go whenever it's busy.

Thanksgiving morning was great though, no one was out at the shops so it was just green the entire way past that Cornerstone church. It was glorious.
