In today's fast-paced life, traffic congestion is a major problem in our daily activities. It reduces the productivity of the individual as well as the community as it is wasting many working hours on signals. The sheer volume of traffic, inadequate infrastructure, and the irrational distribution of traffic signal systems are major causes of this chaotic congestion. It can indirectly increase the level of pollution as engines are still in operation most of the time, a large amount of natural resources such as petrol and diesel are used without any harmful effects. Therefore, our paper aims at reducing traffic congestion and unwanted long-time delay during the traffic light switch overs especially when the traffic is very low. It is designed to be implemented in places nearing the junctions where the traffic signals are placed, in order to reduce the congestion in these junctions.
