OVERVIEW:
• Traffic signals are controlled devices which could alternatively direct the traffic to stop and proceed at intersection using red and green traffic light signals automatically.
• The main requirements of traffic signals are to draw attention, provide meaning and time to respond and to have minimum waste of time.

Reduce delayImprove safetyHelp low volume roadsOrderly flow of trafficReduce the frequency of accidents
Traffic Signals – Why?
• Conflicting traffic movements, make roadway intersections unsafe for vehicles and pedestrians
• Intersections are a major source of crashes and vehicle delay (as vehicles yield to avoid conflicts with other vehicles).
6
• Most roadway intersections are not signalized due to low traffic volumes and adequate sight distances.
• At some point, traffic volumes and crash frequency/severity (and other factors) reach a level that warrant the installation of traffic signals.

Traffic Signals : Advantages
8
• Ensures orderly movement of traffic in all directions
• Provisions for the progressive flow of traffic in a signal-system corridor
• Provisions for side-street vehicles to enter the traffic stream
• Provisions for pedestrians to cross the street safely
• Potential reduction of accidents, conflicts ensuring safety
• Possible improvements in capacity, and• Possible reductions in delay
Traffic Signals : Disadvantages
9
• Large stop time delay• Complex signal design problems
The possible effects of a poorly-timed traffic signal :– increase in vehicle delay,– increase vehicle crashes (particularly rear-end
crashes)– disruption to traffic progression
TYPES OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL:
• Traff ic control signals 1) Fixed-time signal 2) Manually operated signal 3) Automatic signal• Pedestrian signal• Special traffic signal
