Signal Timing Manual

The Signal Timing Manual provides standardized guidelines for designing and managing traffic signals at intersections. It helps optimize how long lights stay red, yellow, or green, to improve traffic flow and safety. By adjusting timing based on traffic patterns, the manual ensures vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians move efficiently with minimal delays and reduced congestion. It’s a strategic tool used by transportation engineers to create smoother, safer intersections, balancing the needs of all road users while considering factors like traffic volume, turning movements, and pedestrian crossings.
