Program 2.8: Strongly encourage public transit and regional projects that skirt traffic around Pleasanton rather than through it to mitigate LOS problems in the city. Policy 3: Facilitate the free flow of vehicular traffic on major arterials. Program 3.1: Continually update computer-control technology for traffic lights. Continue to coordinate and synchronize computer- controlled traffic signals on major city streets. Program 3.2: Prohibit additional private-access driveways onto major arterials.
