Green Extensions
• For green extensions to continue, successive vehicles must not be more than h
seconds apart.
• Green extensions provided up to the Maximum Green for the phase.
• Maximum Green determined by designing intersection as a pre-timed
intersection.
Selection of A and h
• Hmin requires vehicles to be able to stop safely if a vehicle just crosses the
detector at the end of one unit extension time.

From Example
• Min. bandwidth is 11.3 sec.
• If Yellow is considered to allow for last vehicle to clear intersection,
Min. bandwidth is 11.3 sec. + 5 sec = 16.3 sec.
• It is obvious which offset can be changed to increase bandwidth
