Purpose

The purpose of this manual notice is to advise users of the Traffic Signals Manual
that the manual has been revised to include new and updated information on the installation and operation of traffic signals on the state highway system.

The contents of the Traffic Signals Manual
have changed as follows:

Removed Chapter 4, Section 5 pertaining to Red Light Cameras on State ROW. Effective June 2, 2019, per HB 1631, 86th Texas Legislature, local authorities are no longer permitted to install or operate photographic traffic signal enforcement systems, or red light cameras, on streets under their jurisdiction, including state right-of-way. This legislation rendered the information on installation and design of these systems obsolete.

Review

The TxDOT General Counsel Division (GCD) and Compliance Division (CMP) reviewed the draft, and approved the revision made to this manual.
