Traffic Signal Academy

Traffic signal operations play an important role in the safe and efficient movement of people, goods, and vehicles through our roadway systems. According to the 2012 National Traffic Signal Report Card, the overall quality of traffic signal operations in the US is not satisfactory. In particular, the report stresses the need for routine signal timing updates to keep pace with changes in population growth and traffic patterns.

The academy offers a comprehensive discussion on standards, warrants, installation and maintenance guidelines, and strategies to minimize the adverse effects of liability issues. Investing in traffic signal training, from design to operations to maintenance, demonstrates a robust commitment to continuous improvement in the nation’s transportation system.
