ORN13: The Use of Traffic Signals In Developing Cities
This note is designed to assist local authority engineers on the need for traffic signals and how to use them optimally
Abstract
Traffic signals are used throughout the world for the control of traffic at junctions. Their use in developing cities is likely to increase, despite some doubts as to their effectiveness and safety if used incorrectly. The purpose of this Note is to assist local authority engineers in developing cities on the need for traffic signals and then how to use them optimally. It aims to help in the choice between the technologies available and to clarify the benefits of low-cost methods, where applied correctly
