• Abstract:
  The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) currently maintains a Traffic Signals Manual. ; Originally published in 1999, this manual provides a guide and reference for handling requests ; for traffic signals on the designated State Highway System, including installations financed by ; federal funds and installed on the numbered State Highway System. It describes the steps ; necessary for installing a traffic signal, from project inception through construction and final ; disposition of records. It contains five chapters: Introduction, Requests for Traffic Signal, ; Traffic Studies, Operational Considerations, and Traffic Signal Projects. It also contains two ; appendices: one that contains the forms necessary to warrant and install a traffic signal on ; TxDOT roadways and another for determining the need for traffic control at school crossings. ; The manual is available online at http://onlinemanuals.txdot.gov/txdotmanuals/tff/index.htm. ; The following information is a product of TxDOT Research Project 0-5294 Warrants for ; Installing and Operating Ramp Metering. It provides guidelines for installing, operating, and ; maintaining ramp control signals on TxDOT roadways. These guidelines were written with the ; intent of becoming a new chapter in TxDOT’s Traffic Signals Manual.
