So there really isn't a steadfast rule for light management. Usually what they do is for a period of time monitor traffic over certain areas. The problem is that traffic is not usually consistent. To control traffic flow you might, for example, get an average and just run with that. Where I live they control the light times by time of day and in some intersections use a detector for a stopped vehicle. How they do this differs from place to place.<p>The only way you could properly control lights for traffic to be the most efficient is if everybody drove the same speed at the same time of day, but you run into other problems, like people stop and accelerate different not only at the light but at stop and yield signs. So if you get just a few people that linger or roll through traffic signals it screws the whole design up anyway.</p><p>You'll see perfection when all transportation in whatever form is automatic.
