Abstract: This paper describes a traffic signal control procedure that allows motorists who travel at a recommended speed on suburban arterial two-way roads with a common cycle-time to make every traffic signal. A road-to-traveler-feedback-device advises motorists how fast they should travel to do this. Signalized arterial roads where vehicles that travel at the recommended speed make every traffic signal are termed Ride-the-Green-Wave (RGW) roads. Left-turn-arounds allow vehicles to turn left from one two-way RGW-road to an intersecting/orthogonal two-way RGW-road while allowing maximum flow on the intersecting RGW-roads. In addition to introducing novel traffic signal control strategies, the methods presented in this paper have implications for: road network design, public transport control, connected and automated vehicles and environmental impacts.
