Traffic Signal Operations: Isolated Intersections

This course covers the concepts, practical applications, and operations of isolated traffic signals. The course engages students through hands-on exercises and real-world examples of signal timing and operations

NOTE: This is an introductory course in a series of courses on traffic signal operations offered by the TechTransfer. It is strongly recommended that students complete this course before taking either Traffic Signal Operations: Coordination for Corridors (TE-10) or Synchro and SimTraffic (TE-13). It is also helpful for students to complete this course before taking Type 170 & 2070 Traffic Signal Controllers (TE-25).

What this class is not:

• You will not learn how to coordinate signals, this is covered in TE-10.

• We will not teach you to use Synchro, this is covered in TE-13 or TE-65.

• You will not learn how to program controllers and equipment - only partial instruction on timing sheets and detector settings, etc., this is covered in TE-25.

• You will not learn how to design signals, only how to define specifications like detector setbacks, turn lane lengths, etc. Traffic signal design is covered in TE-02 and TE-41.
