Traffic engineers have recognized a more fundamental problem: traffic […]

How to Use Synchro for Left-Hand Drive Traffic Networks

Synchro, a traffic signal optimization and simulation software by Trafficware (now part of Cubic), is only in right-hand drive (RHD) orientation, so its a common problem for traffic engineers analysing networks in Left hand drive countries, making them default to other software such as SIDRA or Vistro. Why Synchro is Preferred Despite RHD Limitation Synchro
