LADOT confirmed that the westbound signal on Franklin Avenue at La Brea Avenue in Hollywood is operating as designed to stay green for 8 seconds.

The agency manages more than 4,800 traffic signals across 7,500 miles of city streets. The cycle length for signals varies from 5 seconds to as long as 180 seconds. A decision they make by studying the volume and flow of traffic among other factors.

“Due to the fact that you have to rush through the traffic to get through the light,” said Todd Roberts who lives in Hollywood.“I mean If people are running a red light because they don’t want to miss the light or need to get somewhere that could cause a huge problem in this intersection,” said Hollywood resident Cari Ciotti.

After NBC 4 aired this story, a lot of viewers reached out to share their frustrations in other neighborhoods across the city on our social media platforms.
