Traffic signals

Traffic signals (lights) are used to regulate and control conflicts between opposing vehicular or pedestrian traffic movements. Traffic signals cannot only improve junction capacity, but can also improve road safety.

Modern traffic signal controllers utilising microprocessors are reliable and flexible and can be programmed to handle multiple phases and other features, including pedestrian facilities, pre-determined fixed time, vehicle actuation including ‘hurry calls’, etc.

· Fixed-time control

In fixed-timed control the proportion of green time is pre-set in accordance with ‘historic’ traffic data. At most sites, traffic flows vary throughout the day. Different green splits may, therefore, be required at different times of the day or year.

· Vehicle actuation

Information about traffic demands on is detected by inductive loop detectors buried in the road surface or by post-mounted micro-wave detectors. The signal controller can extend the green stage on the relevant arms of the road from a preset minimum to a maximum.

Mark the following sentences with T (True) or False (F)

1. Informatory signs provide a message that must be obeyed.

2. Direction signs provide information about routing and important places of interest.

3. The traffic signs regulations set main signs characteristics including size, colour, displayed information, illumination requirements and materials retro-reflectivity.

4. Continuous white centre line markings must not be crossed.

5. In urban areas broken lines delineate bus and cycle lanes, and stop lines.

6. Lane is one of the longitudinal strips into which a carriageway is divisible.

7. Traffic signals are used to regulate and control conflicts between opposing vehicular or pedestrian traffic movements.

8. In fixed-timed control the proportion of green time is changed by the signal controller.
