Traffic Signal Removal Studies
Traffic signals are regularly studied for removal as the volume of traffic may no longer warrant the use of expensive to maintain traffic signals. In ongoing efforts to keep public works assets as inexpensive to maintain as possible, the City will remove as many traffic signals as safely possible by following the removal procedure set out by FHWA guidelines.
