Design of Road Intersection Traffic Facilities
• Safety
• Speed
• Traffic Signals
• Guide Posts and Reflectors
• Road Markings
• Advisory / Warning Signs
Intersection Traffic Facilities
• Regulatory Signs
• Information / Guide Signs
• Safety Barriers
• Adequate facilities for all road users
• Adequate warning of the presence of
intersection
• Adequate sight distance between conflicting
road / rail users
• Minimize conflict points
Unsignalized Intersections
• is defined as any at-grade junction of two or more public roads at which the
right-of-way for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians is not controlled by a
highway traffic signal
Unsignalized Intersections
• Uncontrolled
• YIELD Sign-controlled
• STOP Sign-controlled
Uncontrolled Intersection
• is one in which the entrance into the intersection from any of the
approaches is not controlled by a regulatory (i.e., STOP or YIELD) sign or a
traffic signal
• usually limited to very low-volume roads in rural or residential areas
YIELD Sign-Controlled Intersection
• YIELD signs are usually placed to control the minor road, and they are often
installed at ramp intersections or Y-intersections. Circular intersections—
specifically, roundabouts and mini-roundabouts—represent the only
intersections at which YIELD signs are installed on all approaches, as
vehicles within the circular roadway always have the right-of-way.
STOP Sign Controlled Intersection
• designed to allow for the safe and efficient passage of road users
• pre-timed,
• semi-actuated,
• fully-actuated,
• hybrid
• adaptive, or traffic responsive.
Traffic Signal Factors
• Detection
• Traffic Signal Controller
• Signal heads
Signalized Intersections
• Mast arms.
• Span-wire configurations. Box span-wire design is preferred to diagonal
design for new installation.
• Pedestal or post-mounted signal displays.
Traffic Signal Pole Layout
• A technician at the cabinet should be able to see the signal indications for
two approaches while standing at the cabinet.
• The cabinet should be located near the power source.
• The cabinet location should afford ready access by operations and
maintenance personnel, including consideration for where personnel would
park their vehicle.
