Case Study: Oklahoma City cuts corridor delay 24% with NoTraffic Optimization

Oklahoma City Brings Route 66 Americana into the Future

Oklahoma City faced significant congestion and unreliable travel times on its historic Route 66 corridor, NW 39th St. The challenge was to alleviate this bottleneck and improve safety without making any physical changes to the road's lane geometry. To address this, the city partnered with vendor NoTraffic to implement its Optimization service across five signalized intersections.

NoTraffic's solution used real-time detection and policy-based control to continuously optimize traffic signals. The results were substantial, with the vendor's system achieving a 24% reduction in overall corridor delay and a 36% drop in through-movement delay. NoTraffic also helped improve safety, reducing red-light running by 11%, and generated an estimated $35.4 million in total economic value for the city.
