Survey: Traffic Intersection Issues
- How does your jurisdiction treat or recommend treating right turn volumes from the minor street at an intersection when evaluating signal warrants?
- Has your jurisdiction used video detection at signalized intersections? If “yes,” indicate your experience so far with video detection with regard to cost, reliability, and accuracy.
- When measuring sight distances at intersections (two-way stop controlled), does your jurisdiction consider parked cars at the curb close to the intersection as obstructions?
- How frequently are counts (turning, classification and pedestrians) taken at the most important signalized intersections in your jurisdiction?
- How frequently are counts (turning, classification and pedestrians) taken at the most important unsignalized intersections in your jurisdiction?
- How does your jurisdiction determine if a particular intersection has a safety problem?
- Are cell phone antennas installed on any of your traffic signal poles? If “yes,” what are some of the main components of the agreement your jurisdiction have with the cell phone company?
- When applying the all-way stop warrant, do you average the traffic volume for the highest 8 hours of the average day or do you look to see if the traffic volume for each hour of the highest 8 hours meet the warrant?
