PETALUMA, CA — Traffic: It's an unavoidable reality, but some Petaluma intersections are worse than others, according to a recently released report.

INRIX analyzed traffic signal performance at intersections across the country, and found how much time traffic lights spend on green and times of peak demand.

The majority of intersections in Petaluma are in the least-delayed green range, which indicates minimal delays of no more than 20 seconds per car. About a dozen Petaluma intersections were rated yellow, meaning drivers wait 20-35 seconds for the light to turn green. Fortunately, no local intersections were in the most-delayed red range, which indicates cars may spend 55 seconds or more waiting at a light.
