Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis

Signals justified by data, aligned with MUTCD and community needs.

Overview

DeShazo Group's Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis helps developers, communities, and agencies make informed decisions about intersection improvements. Following MUTCD guidelines, we identify locations where a traffic signal can enhance safety, reduce crashes, and improve access to new and existing developments for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users.

Our process pairs on the ground observations with turning movement counts, operations analysis, and crash history review. We coordinate closely with cities, counties, and DOTs to evaluate alternatives such as all way stop control, channelization, access management, or timing changes, and recommend the right treatment at the right time.

What's included

  • Field audits and data collection, including turning movement counts
  • MUTCD warrant screening across volume, pedestrian, and crash criteria
  • Operations and safety analysis, including queuing and delay
  • Alternatives comparison, from stop control to signalization
  • Agency coordination on timing plans and approvals

Why it matters

Signal warrant analysis reduces conflict points and provides protected crossings for pedestrians and cyclists where warranted. Aligning signal timing with corridor progression manages delay without unnecessary widening, and MUTCD based findings support clear, defensible approvals for new development access.
