City Traffic Signal Installation Using Local Funds
When a city of 50,000 or greater population (latest federal
census) desires to install a traffic signal using local funds within
its corporate limits on a highway of conventional design which is
on the state highway system, TxDOT must conduct a traffic study
to determine
- if there is a need
- if warrants are met
- if the proposed installation should be authorized.
When the district engineer approves the project by signing
the Traffic Signal Authorization Form, the district should then
forward a copy of the signed authorization form to the city to serve
as their record of approval for the proposed traffic signal installation.
