Introduction

Requests for traffic signal installations may originate from either of the following sources:

From Within the District.
TxDOT personnel should be sufficiently aware of conditions on all highways in their respective districts in order to initiate requests through the district traffic engineer for studies at locations where the need for an installation appears evident.
From Outside the District.
A request for a traffic signal installation may be initiated by any of the following parties outside of the district:
  • a private citizen
  • a private organization
