Develop Guidance for Sustainable Traffic Signal Operation Strategies to Support All Intersection Users
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law promotes a Complete Streets approach, allocating funding and requiring planning efforts to consider pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers. These roads align with the Safe System Approach (SSA), prioritizing infrastructure to prevent crashes; however, traffic signal operation strategies often face trade-offs between safety and efficiency. This project addresses this gap by developing guidance for traffic signals for Complete Streets. The research team will create a tool to estimate the potential benefits and drawbacks of different strategies and develop guidelines for their implementation in Complete Street projects. This will facilitate the research team to make data-driven decisions that balance safety, congestion management, and cost, ultimately achieving the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's vision for safer and more accessible roads.
