Traffic Signal Timing Plan

Q: Temporary vs. Permanent?

Temporary plans are used during construction or events, while permanent plans are designed for long-term traffic optimization.

Q: Implementation support?

We provide guidance and coordination support for implementation.

Q: Coordination with authorities?

Yes, we ensure compliance and coordination with relevant authorities.

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.

Why Choose PLAN MY TRAFFIC?

Client Testimonials

The signal timing plan prepared for our busy corridor significantly improved peak-hour flow. The cycle length adjustments and phase coordination were clearly documented and technically sound. The supporting analysis made it easy for our internal review team to approve the recommendations.

Traffic Operations Supervisor, City Transportation Department

We required a detailed signal timing study for several high-volume intersections. The documentation included clear phasing diagrams, pedestrian timing considerations, and coordination strategies. The structured report helped us implement improvements with confidence.

Senior Transportation Engineer, Municipal Authority

The signal timing analysis addressed congestion concerns during peak business hours. The optimized green splits and progression strategy were professionally presented, and the recommendations were practical for real-world conditions.

Infrastructure Planning Manager, City Development Office

The timing plan included a comprehensive review of intersection delay, queue lengths, and signal coordination. The clarity of the documentation ensured alignment with regulatory standards and supported faster internal approvals.

Transportation Planning Coordinator, Regional Agency

The proposed signal timing adjustments improved operational efficiency along our arterial roadway. The technical analysis was thorough and clearly supported with data, which strengthened stakeholder confidence in the final recommendations.
