Traffic Signal Operations and Maintenance Staffing Guidelines (Publication Number: FHWA-HOP-09-006) - This report provides a guideline to estimate the staffing and resource needs required to effectively operate and maintain traffic signal systems.

Signal Timing Under Saturated Conditions (Publication Number: FHWA-HOP-09-008) - This report provides guidance to practitioners on effective strategies to mitigate the effects of congestion at signalized intersections.

Traffic Signal Timing Manual - A concise guide for developing and implementing traffic signal timing.

Traffic signals and the design of arterial facilities affect us daily as we travel to and from work, school, shopping and recreational facilities. There are an estimated 272,000 traffic signals in the United States and each has a profound impact on how safely and efficiently we share the space of intersections as we travel to our destinations. In many major metropolitan areas, the freeway system is functioning at or beyond the capacity for which it was designed. Many drivers are choosing to use arterial streets as an alternative. The growing demand on arterial systems creates congestion on the thoroughfares that define our cities and suburbs. The Arterial Management program is dedicated to actively improving the operation of traffic signal systems and employing techniques to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion on arterial networks.
