• Abstract:
  The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/) defines engineering guidelines to determine if a traffic signal is warranted. These guidelines are based upon decades of work by national committees that have rigorously evaluated the conditions under which a traffic signal should or should not be installed. The Indiana Department of Transportation, along with virtually all public agencies, follows these procedures defined in that document to determine if a traffic signal should be installed.
