TRAFFIC SIGNAL DESIGN

Advantages Of Traffic Control Signals
⊳ Orderly movement of traffic
⊳ Increase the traffic-handling capacity of the intersection
⊳ Reduce the frequency and severity of certain types of
crashes
⊳ Provide for continuous or nearly continuous movement of
traffic at a definite speed along a given route under
favorable conditions
⊳ Interrupt heavy traffic at intervals to permit other traffic,
vehicular or pedestrian, to cross.
