Thank you for submitting your request to the Howard County Department of Public Works\Traffic Engineering. Our staff will investigate this issue and respond.

A signal technician has been sent to investigate the controller and operations this morning. However, I see that your report was at 5:35 PM. Are you seeing this issue in the AM or PM peak hour? Also, are you referring to the northbound through movement or exclusive left movement into the business park? Any further information you might be able to provide will greatly help us trouble shoot.

This is during PM Peak. As far as the number of cars getting through the light, I was referring to the northbound through movement. But there is unnecessary buildup for the traffic turning right on to Snowden which also impacts the through movement.

It was found that the pedestrian phase (it is fairly long for the wide crossing across the north leg of Broken Land Parkway, and elongates the Snowden River Parkway’s movement) was being activated on every cycle due to a malfunctioning unit in the controller. It has since been replaced.
