Model Signalized Intersection Design and Impacts Guide
Explore the detailed process of designing signalized intersections, including pre-timed and actuated signal designs. Learn about left turn requirements, turning equivalents, yellow and all-red intervals, cycle length calculations, and more. Gain insights into phasing, detector locations, critical-lane volumes, yellow and all-red times, and green time allocation for major and minor streets.

2019 NSF RET Project Modeling of Signalized Intersection Design and Impacts Example Pre-Timed Signal Design Actuated Signal Design
Pre-Timed Signal Design Left Turn Requirement
Cycle Length Effective Green Total = C L Effective Green per Phase
Actuated Signal Design Example 22-1 Fig 22.6 shows an intersection that will be signalized using a semi- actuated controller. For convenience, the demand volumes shown have already been converted to through vehicle units
Step 1 : Phasing Phase 1 Minor Street Movements Phase 2 Major Street Movements Step 2 : Minimum Green Time and Detector Location
Step 3: Passage Time Minimum Passage Time: Regardless of type of detector being used, the passage time has a minimum value based on the location of point detector or the front edge of a presence detector. Step 4: Sum of Critical-Lane Volumes Volumes are to be converted into through vehicle equivalents and critical- lane volume for each phase are to be calculated.
Step 6: Maximum Green for Major Street and Minimum Green for Minor Street Initial Cycle Length Effective Green Time Final Cycle Length = Total Green Time +Total Yellow time + Total All Red Time
