Signal Coordination of consecutive intersections were carried out by thumb rule by coupling the indices depend on ratio of traffic volume to distance as well as modelled flow. As eminent resolution data is easily available from intersections, it becomes desire to analyse the actual stream of vehicle flow better to characterise is signal coordination desirable ? As increase in vehicular population causes not only congestion, delay in travel time but also pollution at road. To handle the influence of these travel demand at urban area, signalised intersection present on arterial roads have minimum resistance to flow of traffic for minimising the travel time. If signalised intersections are coordinated then the time pollution will be optimum, air and noise pollution as well. This paper composed of analysis of the previously developed methodology and results of delay caused due to pre-timed two way signal coordination with least time pollution and environmental pollutions. Traffic efficiency is affected by placing the signalised intersections at close continuous manner. This paper concluded with most suitable methodology and simulation techniques for coordination to reduce the time pollution as well as improve the traffic efficiency
