Unregulated traffic lights cause confusion and jam traffic in Balduíno Taques, in Ponta Grossa

Drivers who passed through Balduino Taques Avenue, in Ponta Grossa, faced disturbances on Tuesday morning (10). Two traffic lights located close to each other presented synchronization problems, causing slowness and congestion in one of the main streets of the city.

The problem occurred because the equipment, which should work in a synchronized way to ensure the fluidity of the traffic, began to operate at different times. While a traffic light released the vehicles, the following equipment closed, preventing the drivers from advancing and causing restraints on the avenue.

The situation generated confusion and impaired circulation, mainly because the short distance between the two signals requires them to work in a coordinated manner. Without this synchronization, the vehicles ended up standing between the intersections, compromising the flow of the road.

Transit team identifies equipment failure

After the disturbances recorded during the morning, the Ponta Grossa transit team spoke about the situation and explained that the problem was caused by a communication failure between one of the equipment and its control server.

According to the information passed on, the technical team identified the need to replace a part to correct the fault and restore the synchronization of the traffic lights.

The maintenance service was carried out to ensure that the two equipments re-operated in a coordinated manner, avoiding further interruptions in the flow of vehicles.

The operation of traffic lights has already been normalized

Also on Tuesday, the traffic team confirmed that the problem had been solved and that the equipment was already functioning normally.

The information was confirmed after an on-site check, when it was found that the traffic lights were properly adjusted.

The Avenida Balduíno Taques is one of the important routes of Ponta Grossa and registers great movement of vehicles throughout the day. Therefore, failures in the synchronization of signals can cause reflexes in traffic, especially in times of greatest circulation.

Despite the disturbances faced by the drivers during the morning, the traffic lights were restored and the problem considered solved by the responsible team.
