Traffic Signal Timing Plan

Optimize traffic flow, reduce delays, and enhance safety with expert designed signal timing plans for intersections across USA, Canada, Australia & New Zealand.

Key Components of a Signal Timing Plan

Cycle Length: Total time for all phases to complete.
Phases: Specific movements (e.g., left turns, pedestrian crossings).
Green, Yellow & All-Red Times: Safety and efficiency intervals.
Pedestrian Timing: Walk, Flash Don’t Walk, and clearance intervals.
Detection Systems: Loop, radar, and video sensors for adaptive control.
Coordination: Corridor wide synchronization for “green wave” traffic flow.

Signal Timing Plans for Temporary Construction Zones

Portable & Adaptive Timing for Roadwork and Detours

Temporary signal timing plans are essential for managing traffic during construction, bridge repairs, and utility work. These plans prioritize safety and minimize disruption.

Temporary Signal Timing Features

Trailer-mounted or portable signal systems.
Simplified phasing and staging sequences.
Detection integration (if applicable).
Visibility focused signal head placement.
Pedestrian and vehicle phase coordination.
Optimization using tools like Synchro and SimTraffic.

Permanent Signal Timing Plans

Long Term Optimization for Urban Intersections

Permanent signal timing plans are designed for continuous operation and integrated into city wide traffic systems for maximum efficiency.

Permanent Signal Timing Features

Full coordination with adjacent intersections.
Adaptive systems using SCATS, ASCS, or similar technologies.
Detailed documentation including phasing diagrams and detection settings.
Integration with emergency pre-emption and transit signal priority.
Compliance with regional standards (MUTCD, OTM Book 12, Austroads, NZTA).

Why Choose PLAN MY TRAFFIC?

Client Testimonials

plan my traffic’s traffic control plan was a game-changer for our highway expansion project. Their attention to detail from lane closures to flagging operations ensured our site was safe and fully compliant with local regulations. The team’s responsiveness and expertise made the entire process seamless.

Senior Site Engineer, ARI

We needed a comprehensive TMP for a multi-phase downtown redevelopment. plan my traffic delivered a robust strategy that covered every aspect from incident management to public communication. Their plan helped us avoid delays and kept traffic flowing smoothly throughout the project.

Project Coordinator, Urban Works

Organizing a large scale music festival comes with countless logistical challenges, but plan my traffic’s event traffic management plan took a huge weight off our shoulders. Their pre event planning and guideline for on the ground coordination ensured safe access for thousands of attendees. Truly professional and reliable.

Event Director, Diversity Association

We hired plan my traffic to optimize signal timing across several busy intersections. Their adaptive strategies significantly reduced congestion during peak hours. The results were immediate and measurable; our commuters noticed the difference!

Transportation Manager, Fort Leee

plan my traffic’s TIA report was instrumental in getting our mixed use development approved by the city. Their data-driven approach and clear mitigation strategies impressed both our team and the municipal planners. We’ll definitely be working with them again.
