Determine Control Area Boundaries Sample Clauses

Determine Control Area Boundaries. All other factors being equal, it is desirable to minimize the number of different cycle lengths in use. This is because each different cycle will constitute its own “control group”, and coordination will not be possible across control system boundaries. Accordingly, the intent will be to find one common cycle at which it is possible for all intersections along a particular corridor to operate. More than one control group will be recommended only if there is substantial difference among the shortest practical cycle lengths and/or it is not feasible to obtain reasonably good two-way progression for all intersections at one common cycle length. If a common cycle length for all intersections is determined not to be practical, the least disruptive points at which to place control group boundaries will be determined.
