From VDOT:
From Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day, the Virginia Department of Transportation will re-time signals to help drivers enter and exit major shopping centers around northern Virginia more quickly.
Using traffic data gathered during last year’s holiday season, VDOT developed time- and location-specific signal-timing plans at 223 intersections.
Engineers will use traffic cameras and traffic sensors to monitor conditions and make adjustments in real-time, even on holidays, to help keep traffic moving in especially congested areas such as Tysons, Virginia Gateway and Fair Oaks Mall.
Holiday signal-timing will be in effect from Nov. 24, 2016 through Jan. 1, 2017 at the following shopping centers:
- Tysons and Galleria Shopping Centers
- Reston Town Center
- Fair Lakes Shopping Center
- Fair Oaks Mall
- Potomac Mills Mall
- Manassas Mall
- Springfield Town Center
- Cascades Town Center
- Potomac Run Center
- Dulles Town Center
- Leesburg Outlets
- Dulles 28 Centre
- Virginia Gateway Shopping Center
Also in time for Black Friday, VDOT’s six travel information displays at Tysons Corner Mall have been refreshed with a revised, easier-to-read layout and relocated to more convenient locations throughout the mall. The screens display real-time Metrorail and bus arrivals, as well as a rotating display of bus locations, travel times, traffic cameras, road conditions and incidents near Tysons.
