A CT Traffic Signal Academy Workshop

Course Description:

There is a need to understand that the congestion and delays that exist on our streets and roadways can be better managed with a thorough understanding of effective traffic signal timing and optimization. Well-developed, designed, implemented, maintained, and operated traffic signal control projects are essential to this process. This course addresses the application of the "Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices" (MUTCD) to intersection displays, as well as signal timing, computerized traffic signal systems, control strategies, integrated systems, traffic control simulation, and optimization software. The course is divided into two primary parts: Traffic Signal Timing and Design, and Traffic Signal Systems.

Learning Objectives:

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

  • List the steps required to plan, design, and implement a signalized intersection.

  • Devise an appropriate data collection plan.

  • Perform a warrant analysis using the MUTCD warrants.

  • Design basic phasing of the intersection.

  • Calculate signal timing at the design stage.

  • Select signal-related signs and pavement markings.

Who Should Attend:

Traffic engineering personnel from local and state agencies involved in planning, design, operation or maintenance of traffic signals or traffic signal systems.
