A CT Traffic Signal Academy Workshop

Course Description:

Motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists face greater mobility challenges and safety risks at intersections as traffic volumes grow and congestion worsens. Agencies need safer, more balanced designs that keep people moving. Innovative intersection designs offer many safety and operational benefits and are being built more often because they can deliver more for less.

This workshop is offered through the National Highway Institute (NHI).

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

• Describe the principal features of the innovative geometric designs presented including key design and operational features.
• List the advantages and disadvantages of their use.
• Assess what innovative designs would be applicable at a given location given the conditions and constraints.
• Identify resources to acquire additional information on these designs and their implementations.

Who Should Attend:

The target audience for this training includes municipal and state transportation agency personnel having responsibilities for developing and designing elements pertaining to intersections and interchanges.

Participants will receive 6 credit hours towards their CT Traffic Signal Champion designation.
