Abstract

The author discusses his top ten "pet peeves" regarding traffic signals. These include: 1) non-use of right turn overlap phasing; 2) overuse of protected-only left turn phasing; 3) single lane freeway off-ramps at signalized intersections; 4) use of exclusive left turn lanes instead of exclusive right turn lanes on minor signalized side street approaches; 5) confusing pedestrian indications; 6) difficult to read street names; 7) non-use of low volume flashing operations; 8) poor signal coordination; 9) ugly signal supports; and, 10) premature use of dual left turn lanes.
