Abstract: Traffic congestion is one of the major problems that Lebanon agonizes from. In this case study, the main objective is to provide a smart traffic light system that can reduce congestion in addition to all of its negative effects. The method used for design was the Webster Method. The results are very favorable. The system was optimized to reduce traffic light stops and idle running times provided that the drivers abide by the speed limit on the roadway and try to maintain a constant speed.
