Traffic lights along a stretch of Poydras Street have been synchronized after complaints from motorists, the City of New Orleans announced on October 18, 2026.
The city’s announcement says the work addresses signal-timing problems on the downtown corridor. The Department of Public Works will keep monitoring the lights and adjusting their timing as needed.
The announcement does not identify the exact intersections covered or provide travel-time measurements. For drivers who have been hitting poorly coordinated lights on Poydras, this is the city’s confirmed response to those complaints.
