I wonder though, whether shorter light phases would help.  There are some intersections where if you miss the green, you're in for a very long wait - during which you can mostly watch and empty intersection.

 

 

They should be using actual, not expected, traffic flows to determine phase lengths. If you're sitting waiting looking at an empty intersection, they clearly aren't doing that properly.

Most signals are not smart enough outside of ATOC/JTOC co-ordination and do not monitor and alter timings based on queue times, length or number of cars at the intersection.  SCATS is quite cumbersome in my opinion.
