Traffic Signal Plan Review Tips

When: July 15, 2025 | 2:00 -- 3:00 PM ET

This webinar is led by the ITE Traffic Engineering Council.

Webinar Description:

This webinar will provide transportation professionals with a practical and detailed walkthrough of traffic signal plan review. Participants will gain insight into overall signal design and components of a plan sheet, signal phasing sequence diagrams, signal wiring diagrams, ITS components, detector and stop bar placement, head alignment, pedestrian accommodations and more.

The webinar will incorporate real-world examples and practical checklists to support consistent, high-quality reviews. This training is ideal for agency staff, consultants, and engineers involved in traffic signal design, operations, or plan approval processes.

Learning Objectives:

  • Interpret and evaluate traffic signal phasing sequence diagrams to ensure appropriate operations for all users.
  • Assess stop bar placement, detection zones, and signal head alignment for conformance with design standards and operational needs.
  • Identify key ITS components on signal plans and understand their integration with traffic signal systems.
  • Evaluate pedestrian accommodations and ADA compliance within signal plan designs.
  • Review and verify signal wiring diagrams and cabinet configurations for accuracy and compliance with specifications.
  • Recognize common errors or omissions in traffic signal plans and suggest corrective measures.
  • Verify the inclusion and appropriate placement of spare conduits to support future signal, ITS, and utility needs.
  • Evaluate the design and placement of Opticom (emergency vehicle preemption) equipment and confirm its integration with signal phasing and controller settings.
