Coordinate signal design and details with LG if signals will be operated and maintained by a LG. Obtain concurrence from the LG for locating signals within their jurisdiction and ensure that required agreements are executed as described in TxDOT’s

Negotiated Contracts Procedures Manual

;

Coordinate signal plans with roadway, drainage and utility plans;

Coordinate to have geotechnical foundation design performed for traffic signal foundations with District bridge and laboratory staff;

Coordinate intersection geometry, turn lane lengths, median types, and access control at signalized intersections with roadway and traffic engineers. In urban areas having remote signal timing control and coordinated signals, signal control design must be discussed with the local entity. If the project is located along a designated bike route, bicycle signals may be appropriate, and should be linked and timed with the vehicular traffic signals. Any through bicycle movements will require prohibiting permissive movements for vehicles (e.g., not right on red), see the TMUTCD for further guidance.

Signals and supports must be located to maximize safety and meet PROWAG and TAS accessibility requirements. All pedestrian features and pedestrian signal poles must be accessible to persons with disabilities;

Detail intersection pavement markings, ramps, and walkways before preparing pedestrian signal layouts to ensure proper location of pedestrian poles and signal heads;

Account for mid-block pedestrian signals as necessary; and

Pedestrian crossing times must be sufficient for the expected user population to cross the street safely and meet or exceed the requirements contained in the TMUTCD.
