Abstract

The findings of an audit conducted by the 'Signals New Zealand Group' (SNUG) to identify and achieve better consistency with the design and operation of traffic signals throughout the country are presented. The purpose of the report is to draw attention to those elements of traffic signals that are found to frequently compromise safety and efficiency. The main sections of the booklet include crash at traffic signals, intersection and lane layout, signal post and display section, and cyclist and pedestrian issues. The study recommends that road controlling authorities (RCA) add the requirement for a traffic signal peer review to the Austroads Part 7 (2003) design process flow chart.
